Lower buttock pain - nerve specialist recommendation?

[2977reader]

Has anyone experienced a compressed nerve in lower buttock? It really hurts when sitting down and is causing much anxiety now. Any recommended nerve specialist in south east of England.

I have. My pudendal nerve on my right side was left pinched for 3.5 years. I couldn’t sit ( I still can’t ) and after PT I couldn’t lie down pain free anymore.

Before I had the nerve released from the two ligaments it was stuck onto and being gripped by, I was in agony. It burned and I started losing whole bowel movements in my underwear, pyjamas and bath. I didn’t sleep properly for 3.5 years! I almost died. I was abused and neglected by doctors,

You’ll need to be seen by both a neurologist or neurosurgeon. Unfortunately, most of them dismiss pudendal neuralgia. All they offer is medication management which doesn’t help much but destroys your liver, kidneys, lymphatic system.

You need a properly done nerve block into the pudendal nerve roots via your buttock on the affected side. The nerve block should be done by a pelvic radiologist or PNE expert. It should be done with fluoroscopy or CT guidance. The injection must contain anesthetic AND 30-40 mg steroid. The block will work if you can sit short term. It’s a diagnostic tool only.

If three successive blocks done this way, and done a month apart bring no relief, decompression surgery is suggested.

I have no names of experts in your part of the world but I have one in Belgium and one in Geneva, Switzerland.

Sorry it’s taken this long to respond. I’ve had issues with my neuropathy.

The expert in Geneva is Dr. Bruno Roche.

The expert in Belgium is Dr. Jacques Beco.
