Re: pt for pudendal neuralgia

[Guest guest]

Pudenal neuralgia and levator ani syndrome are two different

diagnoses. Levator ani syndrome is just another name for saying

the pelvic floor muscles are spasming (found this out just

recently from an article highlighted in one of the health

magazines that was put in as part of an ad for a urogynecologist

here in my hometown). A syndrome is just a group of symptoms

like with fibromyalgia (just giving an example) and one of the

symptoms of fibromyalgia can be muscle spasm including in the

pelvic area.

Pudenal neuralgia just means that you have pain in the pudenal

nerve, but in order to find out if the pudenal nerve is damaged

from the point of electrical testing the tech that does the EMG

must stick an electrode in the vagina at the base of the

clitoris and then another one on the head. This is how they

determine if the pudenal nerve is working or not (found this out

from the EMG tech I talked to in the Spring).
