Hi there lostindiapers, am sorry to hear that you haven't found a solution yet. Many times, a doctor will recommend that a PN patient "stop sitting, stop cycling, stop exercising except for walking. And use a pad without a center for keeping pressure off of the perineum."

Another type of treatment includes a series of injections around the nerve using a local anesthetic (like Novocain) and an anti-inflammatory corticosteroid drug.

According to pnfdn.org, "surgical treatment is offered when injection treatments do not provide complete relief. There are different approaches to the nerve. Experience at the Center for Urologic and Pelvic Pain consistently shows that surgical patients have true pudendal nerve entrapment."

Have you tried one of these methods yet? For more information about the injections, please visit this link.

If you can share a little more information with us, we may be able to have a specialist assist you with an answer. Thanks much!
