I have had pudendal nerve pain for 13 years and it was finally diagnosed by a doctor
at Emory in Atlanta, Ga 11/17/21. I have tried many medications. I have just started taking 30 milligrams of cymbalta. I tried it before but I stopped taking it after 2 weeks because it made my head feel numb. I will take it for 2 months if it helps the pain from pudendal neuralgia. Did the 3200 mg of something help? Thanks for the message. I am going to chat with Dr Usal in New Jersey who does surgery. My pain doctor advised against the surgery because it could make the pain worse and it would be permanent. I have also used a Pudendal Nerve
Stimulator which decreased the pain by 50 %. I hope cymbalta works for me.

Did the 3200 mg of gabapentin help? I did take that for a while but never helped me. It sounds like 30 mg of cymbalta works. Did you really never sit? I am retired and like to go out to lunch and visit with friends. I do stand quite a bit.
