I am still so impressed by the success of my pudendal nerve block. It really helped and seemed to reduce the pain. But all good things must come to an end. I had the block last Friday and by Monday it started to come back.
I worked from home as much as I could. As the week went on the pain got worse. It wasn't as bad as it was before the block, but it was bad. I was getting the shot of pain with every step I took. I called my doctor to see what I could do. The answer was disheartening. Nothing.
I can't get another block for three to four weeks. All I can do is go up on my Neurontin, take pain meds as needed and rest. I shed a few tears after I hung up the phone. I felt helpless. There's nothing proactive that I can do.

I've had 5 nerve blocks. None of them have done anything. My first one I was sore for a week. It's instantly helpful in that internal exams can't be felt. But then they wear off and it's back to square one. I wouldn't recommend them.
helpless is definitely a feeling in all of this. I'm sorry you are feeling it too
I'm so sorry. I really hope your flare starts to die down quickly. It's just miserable to feel fine for months and then suddenly be struck with pain.
