Pudendal Nerve Entrapment/Neuropathy/Damage
Hello from a new member. Am wondering if anyone suffers from the monster Pudendal Nerve Entrapment/Neuropathy/Damage? I do. And I’m very alone in it. It is a very uncommon condition, and because of its personal nature, one that many people may not be comfortable opening up about. There seems to be a more vocal/visible presence of patients in the US, AUS and France. I hope, I need, I want – for it be made more aware of here in Canada. If there is any one who suffers from it, or who thinks they might, please feel free to open up about it. Please join me in advocating for ourselves in this horrible condition.

You are correct. 60 day implant of small like fish hook that is inserted near the nerve causing the pain. Not inserted into the spine as others. The theory is that nerves will be re programed with the brain to block the pain. I am scheduled to have the procedure done in September. My pain Dr. claims that his sister who is also a pain DR has completed many of these types of procedures in the Chicago area with great success . I have been trying to connect with someone who has had the procedure done but to no avail.
I have burning in my female parts. They really never named it. I had a Pudendal nerve injection which stopped the pain for 12 hours. They the doctor froze my Pudendal nerve but that did not work. Now I am taking Lyrica which calms the pain dow n by 10%. Where is your pain?
What is the fish hook procedure called. I would like to ask my doctors about it. I am in Atlanta but willing to come to Chicago if the procedure is successful.
