Oh I can relate! This is how I got my Pudendal mess! I had emergency laminectomy surgery for Cauda Equina and a year later a fusion. I can’t sit nor lay on my back. It can be excruciating mainly in the rectal area. Maybe it would be worse, but I have partial saddle anesthesia from all my nerve damage.
I go to a pain clinic, (because lucky me I have other chronic pain), and they haven’t even tried to help with this.
I think I’m going to try a TENS unit in this area.

I have a Nevro Spinal Cord Stimulator and it is better than a TENS. It is not perfect but does offer pain reduction for my pudendal nerve pain and leg and hip pain. After implantation you just work with a tech over the phone to get best placement using a remote control device. I also get a lot of relief from Cymbalta. I have no downside from the SCS so the imperfect relief is very helpful.
