Thank you so much, Racer, for your thoughts.
i was away from the forums for a while and away on vacation- now i found your post. i'm so Sorry that it took so long.Anyways, i saw the Gyn who sent me to another Gyn/oncologist who offered to treat me - to maintain me on pain medicine if i could find no one else. i'm so thankful, that's how i have medicine now. Then he sent me to a dr who specializes in pelvic pain who finally diagnosed my condition and i know now that i have pudendal neuropathy/ compression of the pudendal nerve.
To treat it-
There is a rare surgery that not too many drs do,there is a nerve block- the new dr sent me to the same group of drs - that the one that i went to before (oh no!)
there is physical therapy and a special seat to make to use to keep from putting pressure on the nerve when i sit
and i can take medicines, with a diagnosis finally.
Now it's so hard to go back to that pain management dr- i didn't send in complaint forms but it's too hard to trust this dr again- probably i should make an appt with another person at his practice?
i hate going back there after everything but at least i have a diagnosis and am not wandering in the dark not knowing what the pain is from.
((((((((Racer)))))))Thank you so much for being there when things were so hard before the diagnosis.
now i can tell this dr what i have but i think see another dr at that office for the nerve block. That is probably a good idea although i'm scared.Take care,
kerria
