Pudendal Nerve pain...pelvic pain, burning, sharp pains and numbness

[Guest guest]

I am doing my own research for my husband.

As a result of a RPP my husband has developed Pudendal Nerve pain,

a pain that causes sharp pain, burning pain, and numbness. It is sporadic, but

is almost always there. Cannot sit or bend or do anything that would put

pressure on the pelvis now...so only walking is what he does. Dr.s say my

husband was " predestined " to it, as he ran 3 days a week, 5 miles, and biked

about 30 min 3 times a week. Lifted weights 20lbs only for arm strenght. Fished,

hunted and was an active 56 year old man...until surgery. Then BOOM...can do

nothing now. We both believe it is the cause of the surgery...but all the

doctors say it just can happen...and more likely to people who are very active.

How many of you MEN out there have this to some degree. It is 7 months since

surgery, and he still cannot sit, work or do anything but walk and stand. He is

taking vicodin, lyrica and tofranel, 3 times a day, and occasionally ativan when

the pain gets unbearable. If this is so commong among athletes, bikers

etc...why do they not warn patients about this, or even ask their activity level

before doing a prostatectomy. HOW many men have gotten this from a

Prostatectomy?
