Hi Tom,

I was considering going to NH for that nerve conduction test and nerve blocks. My question is, if this is a symptom of levator ani and not pudendal neuralgia would it hurt to get the nerve conduction test done, I don't want to get worse!

Carolyn,

No, THe L.A syndrome discribes the symptoms that you experince when the

L.A muscle is in a state of increased tone.

Pudendal Neuralgia is a rather non-specific term used when the pudendal

nerve is "suspected" as being injured, entraped or otherwise too

excitable.

I say suspected becuase other than a nerve conduction study, there is

no way to determin this.

If you haven't had the test, then they cannot confirm the diagnosis and

are just making a S.W.A.G. (scientific, Wild-Ass Guess.) :-\

Carolyn,

The conduction tests are quite uncomfortable... so if you ask will it

hurt??? Yes it will hurt.

Will it cause damage that makes your situation worse in the long run?

NO, not likely..
