Pudendal Nerve Entrapment and Sex any suggestions?

[amma2]

I forgot to put in my last question that I have been diagnosed with Pudendal Nerve Entrapment and that is part of the problem as the nerve that opens the vagina isn't working. Anyone else experiencing this? IF you have figured out how to fix this I would sure like to know what you did.

There are only a few doctors like in this world that know how to treat PNE. I live in australia and they have a place in Sydney that operates to fix this. There are places in the US and France as well. Not too sure about other countries though I'm sure there would be. They try nerve blocks first and if they give a sense of pain relief they will operate. Results can take from 3 weeks to 12 months but it's worth that than getting worse and worse for your entire life.

I don't think it's really possible to have pain free sex until the nerve has been fixed.

I believe this is what I have as well. Do you know of any pain relief that actually works? Even when I'm Laying down it hurts, sitting is worse and I can't walk barely at all. Ive tried all the over the counter things which don't make barely a difference.

I am seeing a dr in Minneapolis who is a PN Specialist who trained in France. He has come out of retirement to help women and can't find anyone who is interested in learning how to treat this. I am afraid he will retire again then I don't know what I would do. I have had 4 nerve blocks and they did help plus he put me on a muscle relaxer and Valium and Gabapentin 3times a day and some exercises and stretches. I sit on one of those special pillows which helps; I use the Icy Hot patches on my back and take 4 Advil Liquid Gels when I want to do something active. I think you are in a lot more pain than I am. I am so sorry for you!
