Nantes video consultation tomorrow!

[kate46]

Hi, it would be great to hear from anyone who has had a telephone/video consultation with the Nantes team as I have one tomorrow afternoon. I was diagnosed with Pudendal neuralgia in Nantes 19 years ago, after 14 months of severe pain following childbirth. They did Nerve blocks which helped it to settle but I have had some flare ups over the years.

The pain came back really severely early Jan from coughing with flu!

Has anyone had experience of a video consultation? I think it is with Dr Riant. Does he speak good English?

Also, would be great to know if anyone has had CT guided nerve blocks in the Uk and if so where? I had some 5 years ago during a flare up in Bristol but they did not help. I live in Nottingham.

Thanks everyone ! Kate

Just wanted to wish you good luck tomorrow, however I can't comment as to anything with the Nantes team except that a lot of people have gotten help from them

hi, thank you for your message, that was kind of you to reply. Do you suffer with pudendal neuralgia too? The video consultation went well yesterday using the Medaviz link with Dr Riant. When I first went there 19 years ago, my son was 1 and now he is 20 😂! The consultation was 30 mins. He still does pudendal nerve blocks (now with just local anaesthetic, although I had LA and steroid previously). He now recommends pulsed radio frequency of the nerve as this has higher success rates than nerve blocks. I am hoping my pain may settle without intervention but if not I will go to Nantes as I have total confidence in their experience of this condition. Thanks again for your well wishes!
