I have been reading about it and hope it may be an option option for me. I have been dealing with Pudendal nerve pain and so far pain blocks or Gabapentin have not helped. To the contrary, I am dealing with more and more pain. I am seeing a pain doctor at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and dorsal root ganglion nerve stimulation has not been discussed.
Any suggestions how to go about this?

Sorry, I have no info on the dorsal root ganglion, but I am a long time sufferer from pudendal nerve pain.
Maybe I should ask my doc about it?
How I have been dealing with the pain—pelvic pt, they probably will do internal work, teach you how to do it yourself (with appliances?) they can recommend, (it’s not hard)
And pt to help put everything in place, or stretch, strengthen or loosen things.
I also use a tens unit in different places, and Diclofenac patches (RX) , also in different places. Spine, buttocks etc. Ice, heat, trying to stay away from oral stuff, as I think that may have caused some digestive issues, adding to all the mess.
The only oral meds I take occasionally, that seem to help, both RX, are methocarbamol or Librax. From my urologist who has helped immensely.
Please follow up with any information that you find out…thanks and good luck!!!

Yes, please share all info you get…and your experiences!
Tens unit might be something to have pelvic pt help you get the right settings. when I get home will send pics of one I have and the settings. As to where to place pads, I find that on either side of sacrum area or lower, or on butt as close as you can get to inside of thigh on/near/inside sits bones. Play with locations on a low setting to see if it feels ok. Just wear something with pockets that you can thread wire up clothes and into unit in pocket. Have pockets and batteries will travel!!!

Have to use 2 or 4 pads, and if you use 4 you may want to criss cross them

This is how my first pelvic pt set my Tens. Instructions in box. And the tens I have. If you try it and like it, I would order extra pads, wires have a tendency to get loose after a bit if you are sitting on it.
It is a great thing for any ouchy part of your back, legs etc.
🤞

Good luck!!! I also found out that if I put the pads on my thighs, or anywhere on my legs after pt etc, when things are tight, it helps relax all those muscles that are attached to your pelvic area…I was using a foam roller to try and relax them, and I thought why not the tens? Works awesome…

Hello @romans8. I happened to find an existing discussion on DRG nerve stimulation so you will notice I have moved your post here:

I see you've had several members join you, and their posts have moved here too so you can continue to compare notes.
