Thank you so much Kathi
I actually have a Physical therapy appointment set for Monday. I made sure she was knowledgeable about pudendal neuropathy, and she has worked with people before. I just had an EMG( PNMLT) test done yesterday which showed pudendal neuralgia, "primarily affecting the branches that supply the pelvic floor." The Dr said that my pelvic floor muscles were tighter and that PT could help. I am going to have her work on loosing the pf muscles and myofascial release. As far as the chronic constipation goes, I have a GI disorder as well, and take meds for that, but I am sure that could have contributed, as well as the pelvic floor muscles being tight, it could have impinged on the nerve.
Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, it is lousy that i have this pain and can't sit. I am taking it easy as far as the exercise goes, and just walking basically. I may try swimming. I am not happy with the diagnosis, but I need to try and be positve.
