Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I was reading some information on different meds for pain and this one paragraph stood out to me The real star of the antidepressant group is duuloxetine (Cymbalta) which was developed for neuropathy pain. It really takes away a certain part of IC pain, usually the unpleasant burning, ground glass sensations in the pelvis. This type of pain is usually due to some kind of dysfunction in nerve cells and is termed neuropathic pain. Cymbalta really seems to help a lot with that type of pain. reading that last paragraph, I wonder, if it is truly dysfunction in the nerve cells- how does pt help that? I have to think pt probably does work in certain instances, maybe for tight pelvic muscles, but if it is something dysfunctional within the nerve itself, I would think that pt would just aggravate that kind of condition? Am I wrong? And how can the doctor tell that? does the emg just test the pudendal nerve? CNeed a new ride? Check out the largest site for U.S. used car listings at AOL Autos.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Carolyn, you are right about PT not helping. PT works when the pain is muscular. And if it is true PN, PT usually does aggravate the condition – it did in my case, and I know of a few others. nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of Carolyn52192@...

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 PT will help if the nerve is impinged due to muscular constriction. You can have PN caused by pelvic floor contracture. Good PT will lengthen those muscles and they will stop aggravating the pudendal nerve. love, Molly question I was reading some information on different meds for pain and this one paragraph stood out to me The real star of the antidepressant group is duuloxetine (Cymbalta) which was developed for neuropathy pain.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 That is absolutely true Molly – I had PT for almost a year before my surgery. My nerve was entrapped – as much as she tried to get it to slide and become un-entrapped, it would not move. nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of molly ring Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 6:29 PM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: Re: question PT will help if the nerve is impinged due to muscular constriction.
