@bkruppa You may want to look at myofascial release to free tight fascial tissue. I do this therapy myself for thoracic outlet syndrome which is a nerve/vessel entrapment under the collar bone area and it has helped me a lot. This is similar to massage , but the therapist holds the stretch and waits for the tissue to start to slide. According to the website, it helps Pundental nerve entrapment among many other conditions. MFR can also treat surgical scar tissue in the fascia. There are providers listed for Canada (your earlier post suggested this) at this link

I created a discussion to collect information on MFR that you can check out at

We are looking into this kind of treatment and as it turns out there is a therapist in our home town. However, I'm not sure this is the cause of my wife's pain because it (the pain) can vary from a 1 or 2 level to other times a 7, 8, or 9 level. I would think that a myofacial condition, like a damaged nerve, would cause more constant pain. But at this point in time we will try anything. In reading all of these various causes of chronic pain issues the difficult part is choosing the right treatment and more importantly finding the source of the pain. All of the possible causes like PNE, MYF, sacrotuberous muscle, psoas, pudendal nerve root issues, spinal issues, etc. all result in pudendal nerve pain. So far no treatment that my wife has had including steroid injections to the nerve, have produced any results that would lead one to believe they know the cause/source of the pain.
