Hi Caprice. I hope you are doing well. I'm struggling a bit, but thought it would be good for the mind to share a fond memory. Five years ago, Sunday May 27, I was married to my best friend and had a wonderful celebration with family and friends. I was only a year into my injury, and was fortunate enough to have a great pain management physician so that I was as comfortable as I could be on our special day. My husband has been so supportive and encouraging these past few years, it makes me feel so very fortunate. If I could wish for one thing: I wish every chronic pain sufferer out there could have someone in their lives to help, love them unconditionally and to share their good days with. It has been a tough road but we are a stronger pair because of it. We may only be able to celebrate at home w/ our toddler, but at least we have much to celebrate. I hope everyone has a weekend filled with the support of family, friends, pets and low pain levels. You all take care, B

Hi, i have the same thing, symptoms of pudendal neuralgia, its so dibilitating but my symptoms have greatly improved after having gone to an osteopath for 2 yrs for a pelvic injury that was the cause of my pain. I HIGHLY recomend that if you still have pelvic disfunction you go them, they also were able to help the nerve itself...but since i still have neurologic problems, and loose ligaments in the pelvis, one of them suggested the prolotherapy... I am unclear, did your prolo treatments help at all in the long run? i want to start this right away but the last thing i need is to make it worse or piss away money i dont have....thanks for the input.
