Pudendal neuropathic pain

[sierra]

Has anyone tried ganglion impar block, lumbar sympathetic block, hypogastric block, sacral nerve root block or radiofrequency pudendal nerve? Anyone tried epidural infusion for pelvic pain? Would welcome any experiences.

I have had pulsed radiofrequency of the pudendal nerve. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me.However, I know it has worked well for some other people.

I have had many pudendal nerve blocks which brought me little or no relief. I did have from memory pulsed nerve stimulation? which held for 4 brilliant weeks but my health insurance won't pay for any more of anything.

There are people that get good releif from blocks but I must add from my experience I wish I had been a lot more cautious and assertive about my blocks. I feel I had too many and am my symptoms are worse and I take alot more medication. Choose your pain management specialist carefully. Good luck.

I have had 2 Ganglion Impar blocks and I didn't get any relief and it was uncomfortable. I understand it does work on some people. Never tried the pulsed nerve stimulation.

Pulsed nerve stimulation, how does that work, is it similar to Tens?
