Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Thanks Melinda. If my nerve blocks don't work I am going to make a trip to see Dr. to get checked out for LP. And if the blocks don't work i'm also going to try to start going to Raquel for PT. I had a follow up with my regular gyn today and told him about my trip to NH. He asked me to tell him " all about it " so I started to and then he kept trying to finish my sentences so I couldn't even tell him anything. I tried to tell him how the PN docs think my clitoral pain is from my bone structure b/c of how the nerve is closer to a certain bone than most people which has caused irritation due to the kinds of things i used to do like squats, snowboarding and gymnastics and therefore an up-regulation of the nerve...he then proceeded to repeat what i just said about an up-regulation of the nerve and finished with " because something irritated your clitoris " ...i'm just sitting there thinking " did you not listen to anything I said about my bone structure causing the irritation on the nerve? " and then when i was trying to tell him how they wanted to try 2 nerve blocks and then if those didn't help we'd look into different things and he starts saying " yeah probably botox " (while i'm thinking, um no that's not what they meant). Then he asks " how did they do the block? vaginally or clitorally? " and i say " no through the butt " (the correct way to do PN blocks and the exact reason that I went to NH to get them done instead of having him do them). I just think it's hilarious (yet terrible and frustrating at the same time) how doctors try to act like they know everything but sometimes they really have no clue. and then i tell him that i haven't noticed too much difference yet clitoral pain-wise but that it might not kick in for 2 weeks or even until after my second block and that it might not even help but we will just have to wait and see, and on my way out he says " after your second block we will start to wean you off your meds since you're feeling better " and i'm just getting more frustrated thinking to myself " i didn't say I was better yet and I JUST said that they might not even work " .... sorry to go off on a tanget there, but doctors are so frustrating some (if not most) of the time. erin --- spanishmiss430 wrote: > Hey ! > I see Ann Levesque in Beverly, MA - she was > recommended by Raquel as > she was closer to me.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi , I think you had great courage going to NH and having your nerve blocks done. You took a chance. I hope they begin to work soon and are successful. You seem to be very stabile and are realistic about the various outcomes. I could not go through with mine just yet. Congratulations on taking the risk. --msb Re: Re: - PT and LP > Thanks Melinda. If my nerve blocks don't work I am > going to make a trip to see Dr. to get checked > out for LP.
