Pudendal Nerve---Tom or anyone

[Guest guest]

I keep reading very discouraging websites about Pudendal Neuralgia.

Is it really true that PN is a lifelong thing?

Is there hope if it is only entrapment?

If you have to take neurotrin (spelled wrong), is it forever?

Can entrapment be from being overweight?

If I lose weight will it resolve?

How can a doctor tell if you have PN?

Can a chiropractor help for that?

Is there any self help for this?

I know Physical Therapy can help but do you always have to see a

neurologist?

How do you tell PN from Pelvic Floor Dysfuction.

I have spent more money than I can afford and my charge cards are

maxing out on this whole thing. I need to find out if my next step is

a PT/Neurologist or Chiropractor. I have limited visits to PT or

Chiro as well. I guess if I won the lottary I could get better.

I don't want to waste my time and money on one more doctor so I am

trying to be sure of my next choice.

I am not even sure I have PN. I have this one area on the left side

of my labia major that has an ache like someone is jamming their thumb

into it. It gets worse after orgasm. My vaginal burning is slowly

getting better with estrace. My anal burning comes and goes. My

urethral ache is gone but I still have some bladder pressure/pain once

in a while. I think some of it is a feeling of my bladder " falling

out " .

Thanks,
