I use the donut or rolled up towels when I drive. The pain is unbearable and that is why I am going to try the nerve block in January I am on Cymbalta and tried Lyrica for nerve pain and all it did was made me tired. I just do not know what to do. I try not to sit down anymore. I tried physical therapy. I have to work on anxiety because I get worse when I am anxious but the pain feeds the anxiety. I also am anxious about the nerve block which is scheduled for January 4 and am trying to find others who had it done for feedback. I just want the pain to become tolerable and not run my life. Wishing everyone happiness and the best.

I have been suffering from pudendal neuralgia for several years, and I’m sorry to hear that you have too. I just have a comment on the nerve block. I had it done at Mayo Phoenix this past year, and the procedure itself was pretty simple. However, I did not get much relief from it. The doctor had told me ahead of time that their success rate was about 50%, but I thought it was worth trying. I pray that yours is more successful.. I have discovered that any kind of body tension, good or bad, can trigger flare ups. I take Horizant for the pain daily, and use lidocaine topical cream when I have to sit for very long - it takes the edge off. I also found that a heating pad is helpful in reducing the tension in the adjacent muscle, ligaments to the pudendal nerve. Hope this helps.

Try getting to Ga for that treatment. Call because they have been tracing other doctors to do this procedure. It is done with CT. It really helped me a lot. Prefab in is generic for Lyrica. This has also helped. The side effect lessen over time. Give them time to work donut visions all are different. Try others to see which one works for you. It’s very frustrating to find a solution. I wish you the best in finding a solution that works.
