I seem to have hit a plateau in my recovery and lately I've been researching Pudendal Nerve Blocks with lidocaine, corticosteroids and possibly heparin. Has anybody here had them done...what were your symptoms and how did it go? Where did you have them done? I can only find a handful of doctors in the U.S. that perform this procedure...
Please feel free to chime in with any information regarding this procedure, I don't care if its third person or anecdotal...I want to amass as much information as possible on this procedure so I can make an informed decision about whether to seriously consider committing a lot of time and money and having this done.
Thanks
