Pudendal Neuralgia: Dr. Aaron Filler - Spine & Nerve Health

Join neurologist Dr. Aaron Filler of the Institute for Nerve Medicine in Santa Monica, California (http://www.nervemed.com) as he explores an often-difficult to discuss subject, pudendal neuralgia. Numbness or pain in the urogenital area (perineum) affects thousands, yet many are embarrassed to discuss it with their physician. Dr. Filler discusses symptoms, the difficulty in accurately diagnosing pudendal neuralgia, and the best strategy for resolving this difficult condition.

I have Neuropathy and it spread into my legs and arms. I have 2 implants but there only helping about 40% in the grone area. My legs and arms still hurt. I have many problems with this examples: Blood and Bacteria in my urine, Burning Spots in my body, ED, Incontence, Bladder Problems, Pain around my Kidneys, Server Leg, Feet and Back pain. What Can I do next?

I have had genital anesthesia for over 26 yrs after being injected with haldol against my will. Since that time I have been been able to function in society free from neuroleptics, but the loss remains and it has been devastating. I think I have permanent nerve damage. I wonder if there is any hope that I am wrong and that this could still be revearsed? (You can read a summary of my story on my channel and in the text video I made.)

How did it go??????

[Draziom203]

No. All types of Nerve pains and bad sensations is from Neuropathies and Neuralgias. There is no nerve pain that doesn't hurt or is uncomfortable. You don't have any nerve pain therefore you don't have any problems and not needed for treatment.

Is it possible to have this without pain, rather a tingly/pressury sensation?

I am an athletic male in the military and have been suffering for years with point specific abdominal pain. I was run around from doctor to doctor, with telling me I was either imagining it, to those who wanted to do exploratory surgery to diagnose the problem. Dr. Filler's MRI Neurography was able to diagnose an abdominal nerve entrapment in about thirty minutes. I am having my first injection next week. I cannot wait to have my life back. His staff is average, but he is exceptionally good.

Thank you for posting this informative video. I have had pain from my right Pudendal nerve for over 6 years. I had very little pain for the first five, but the past year has seen a deterioation in my condition. I have travelled from England to France, where I have been diagnosed as having Myofascial Syndrome near to the PN. However, at the moment, I do not know if that is causing the nerve pain. I am hoping to go back to France for more tests.

Dr. Filler, in the video you refer to the pudendal nerve as being "pinched" and you also refer to the pudendal never as also being "entrapped". Are they the same thing? Pinched and entrapped I mean? Or is one condition different from the other?
