Dearest Lorna,

I had a vaginal hysterectomy 20 years ago this month. During the procedure my legs were allowed to fall apart too much. This pulled my pubis symphysis apart, my sacro iliac joint, and I awoke in THIS pain. Apparently my Pudendal nerve was trapped whilst the operation took place!

It took me 14 years to get a diagnosis, but no treatment has been successful.

How was your diagnosis formed so quickly?

Wishing you good luck with everything xx
