Hello. My name is Barbara. My story is that about 2 1/2 years ago I had a hemorrhoidectomy and have had burning neuropathic anal pain ever since Multiple doctors, including a pelvic pain specialist, the working diagnosis is anal nerve involvement from the surgery/scar tissue. No
help from gabapentin but I can’t take high doses and function. Most recently a pain physician did an injection into the ganglion of Impar. It’s in the lower sacral area. No improvement and I have an
Appointment to talk to him again. I’m wanting to know has anyone had a similar issue and/or had that type of injection. Or have had any success with treatment. Thanks so much

@bwardccrn. I am so sorry I can’t offer any advice but I can offer my support and empathy for the pain you must be going through. You are a tough cookie!

Had the Ganglion Impar blocker injection and had the same results. No relief and little or no relief from gabapentin. A PMR/Physiatrist said that the injection may have been done incorrectly. He is in the process of examining my medical records in order to recommend an approach to my pain management and whether the blocker would provide any benefit. My pain is similar to the one you are experiencing.
