Guest guest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Hi Joyce, Yes the pudendal nerve and the sacral nerve is different. I don’t know what kind of physical therapy that is required for the sacral nerve. Why don’t you make an appointment with a PT that does pelvic work. When you get there tell her you are there for a consultation and then ask her what kind of PT she does for the pudendal nerve and the sacral nerve. If you do not want internal work, then tell her you do not want internal work. After all, it is your body, and no one is going to force anything on you that is painful or that you do not wantl. There is no way of knowing whether it will be painful until you try it, and if you do not want it then say stop. I don’t have any kind of internal work done because it is too painful for me. But I would suggest that you at least go and find out what she says. nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of JSyun4505@...

It wasn't the pudendal nerve he mentioned, but my sacral nerve. I'm assuming they're different, right? Do you have any idea what kind of physical therapy that would require? The internal work scares me - because of the pain. Just trying to stay ahead of my fear..... J. Date: Sat Jun 14, 2008 10:48 pm ((PDT)) Hi Joyce, When I go to PT, she mainly does skin rolling on me - I have PN. Some women have internal work done which helps the pelvic floor. If your gyno wants to remove the Bartholin glands, that is usually for Vestibulitis. Do you have vestibulitis or vuldodynia? Removing the Bartholin glands does not help PN or sitting problems. Have you ever gone to the www.pudendal.info site? That is a very nice support site with very nice women who have PN. It would be a good place for you to ask that question, as there are a lot of women on there who go to PT. Have you gone to PT yet? If not, you have to make sure you go to one that works on the pelvic floor. Not all PT's do that. nne Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008.
