Pudendal Nerve Entrapment/Neuropathy/Damage

Yes

@swift Thanks for posting on naturel products for pain I've been a advocate for naturel products and essential oils a long time as @, Parrotqueen I mix my own oils at home just for me I was interested in the oil for nerve pain can you elaborate on this ? Do you use it straight or in carrier oil,?

@donfield Hi A good place to start is print out a form from Essential OIl.com they will give you the oils that help with certain diseases and how to mix then or use them without the carrier oil like Almond or coconut oil the fractured oil and others. The chart on the oils will help you . Depends on what you are using the Eucalyptus for if you rub it on by itself SOme oils you can ingest others are only used in a diffuser so to know exactly how you want to use the oils you should get a chart on the oils and how to use them . I would do your own research on them ,the internet is full of information. Essential oils.com will help you Thanks for your interest.

Hi my previous lioness, so happy you love to use natural resources too ; I'd use ginger oil with lavender if it's nerves twitching also for headaches I use lavender from migraine i used to have such bad migraine I'd be violently sick and need to stay in a very dark room, ( as dark as darkroom for photographers ) now when I get one starting which isn't very often these days , i use lavender just few drops on the back of my neck, and forehead if need be. Nerve hot with inflammation I'd use either peppermint with chamomile few drops of both with lemon two drops of lemon oil and carrying oil fractured coconut or Avocado oil as they better absorbed into the skin . Hope this helps also frankincense oil and eucalyptus are especially good for pain lavender is great for nerve pain too and as you would already know great for burns , ( never leaving scar. ) tea tree goes well for hair especially with eucalyptus and coconut . There's so many especially oils still learning after 35 years.. which keeps me busy. Enjoy your precious evening/ weekend tc hope this can help you guy's.
Kind regards swift hug from blustery old England

I understand your pain because I suffer from pudendal neuralgia as well. It's from Tarlov cysts that I have in my sacral area. I'm currently waiting for a surgery date for those and am hoping the neuralgia will subside with minimal nerve damage.

I saw my new doc for the first time today... He's a pelvic pain specialist. Dr Michael Hibner in phx AZ. He's one of only 10 specialists in this field in the US and patients come here to see him from other countries as well as out of state. If you Google him you'll find lots of info.... He also has a couple interviews on you tube. He was very knowledgeable, considerate and caring... He gave me some hope. I saw his physical therapist first who was amazing in assessing my problem! Stay strong and I hope you can get some relief

Hi @lorid,
I injured my Pudendal Nerve in 1995 and had surgery in 2001 at the Mayo
Cinic that was extremely effective. I don’t believe the Mayo Clinic treats
this condition currently. Please tell me where you are located and I will
try to help you find a doctor that can help you.
Take care,
Darrell Burns

I know this post is from a while ago, but I was wondering if you had the surgery? I am from Canada and no doctors I have seen consider my Tarlov cysts to be causing my problems including my pudendal neuralgia. Do you mind if I ask where you were able to get treatment?

Good feedback. Thanks.

My wife's situation has one added symptom that I don't see in any of these discussions and that is swelling in the area of pain. The question would be does a compressed/irritated/entrapped nerve cause swelling? The other condition that my wife experiences is the level of pain varies. Most of the time it is a 7 or 8 while other times it is a 2, 3, or 4. We try to look back to see what she did different but never can put a good case together as to the cause. Any ideas? Different muscle tensions?

Saying that everything is connected together is good information. I notice that massaging of muscles in the hip area and upper buttocks area gives a lot of help to her and these areas are far removed from her areas of pain. I understand that there is a sacrotuberous muscle in the buttocks that is directly involved with the pudendal nerve and if it is tensed up it will compress the nerve and cause the type of pain that is being discussed here. Usually it takes an experienced therapist to massage this properly to relieve the tension.

Hi Darrell, I'm near Milwaukee, Wi and may have PN. Can you help?
