Pudendal nerve and walking

I’m unable to walk more than a few steps at a time. I have to use a powerchair as I’m unable to push a manual chair. Is anyone else affected like this?

Thanks

I had pudendal nerve entrapment. It took 3.5 years to get surgery ( I was on death’s door from improper pain control and no sleep ), I needed two other surgeries and I waited in BC, Canada for 7 and 8 years respectively.

The permanent damage was done.

I can walk but not for too long or it aggravates my pudendal and inferior rectal nerve.

I use a sleeping pill and Amytriptyline at bedtime. Are you getting a nerve pain pill at all?

I’m worried your sciatic nerve is involved.

I find I can only take short steps because long strides hurt more. I think I have issues with my piriformis muscle along with my back. But since it’s only been a few months that I’ve needed a cane and a lot of this as well other issues going on, can I ask how the pudendal nerve affects walking for you? Is it more than pain like limping or short steps? Or when you were able to walk more than now? Sorry if this is a silly question. I’m just trying to sort out what is what. This is my very first post.

Not what you're looking for?
