Attorney: Pudendal Nerve Entrapment
Case Study: 38-year-old attorney; Pudendal nerve entrapment
I'm a busy attorney and also have a very active lifestyle, including a love of mountain biking. I'd been riding for years when I noticed something had changed - for the worse.
It was during a ride with my club that i began to have extreme discomfort in my genital region. At first I thought it was just a strain, and I eased off the ride so that I wouldn't further aggravate the injury.
The pain persisted for days, then weeks. I visited my physician and he initially felt it might have something to do with riding, so he cautioned me against any rugged biking for the near term. I complied and only had mild rides, but I continued to suffer from what was becoming increasing amounts of pain. It got so bad that even intimacy became a struggle.
My doctor then suggested pudendal nerve entrapment, and I began to research it on various medical websites. That's when I learned that PNE can happen in both men and women, and can adversely affect the quality of one's life if left untreated. I didn't need a website to tell me that - my condition was definitely hurting my lifestyle.
During my online research I discovered NerveMed.com and Dr. Aaron Filler. I contacted Dr. Filler's office through the site and scheduled an appointment.
Dr. Filler conducted a thorough examination, including an MR neurography scan. This not only helped him confirm the diagnosis, but also helped pinpoint the area of the injury requiring treatment.
At the Image Based Surgery Center, Dr. Filler conducted the surgery. Perhaps "surgery" is too invasive a term - instead, I had what is called a series of "injections" under the MRI scanner. Using a variety of medicines, Dr. Filler treated the injury and I began to notice immediate improvement right after the procedure.
Because of the severity of my injury, I required two follow-up injections, but since then, I have been living a completely pain-free life. I have returned to mountain biking and am absolutely thrilled to have my life back.
If you suffer from pain in the genital region, I urge you to investigate pudendal nerve entrapment and consider Image Based Surgery Center and Dr. Aaron Filler for your course of treatment.
For me, IBSC and Dr. Filler were lifesavers.
