Anyone out there diagnosed with Pudendal Neuralgia?

Posted by LeighO57 @leigho55, Jun 5, 2018

I have not been on connect for quite a while since I have only recently received a diagnosis (one of many probably to come) I am looking for someone/anyone who has the pain from a surgical injury of sorts to this nerve to talk to. Is there anyone out there with Pudendal Neuralgia on connect? Thank you!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

I believe that. It took them years to even diagnose me. The nerve blocks just made it more irritated. Somehow try to get an anti-seizure med and see how it works. Find a good neurologist who will prescribe it. I will praying for you.

Do you have many side effects with Lyrica, such as insomnia or constipation ? Does it lower your thyroid?

No I have not experienced any side effects with Lyrica. To my knowledge my thyroid is ok but I will be having blood tests in a couple of weeks so I will see.

I have pudendal neuralgia along with lots of other conditions. But I think it’s this condition that has changed my life the most.

Not at all for me. Basically anything that can burn or hurt does, I sit on a pillow with ice packs inside the pillowcase. Everywhere I go I have to bring my pillow & a cooler for the ice packs. And still I can’t sit more than 3-4 hrs in a day.

Best to get a urine culture at a lab in case it is a uti.

I sat on a donut for 14 years. I am so sorry for you. Like I told others, anti-seizure medicine was the final cure.
