Hard flaccid is pelvic floor tension myalgia or sacral plexus / pudental nerve neuralgia
Both of them can cause damage to nerves and both have same protocol to treat it which i described below
Very effective is for me TENS and rectal massage, as well rectal vibrator, swimming, duloxetine, sauna

1 year, and finally a lot of improvements
TRY IT! Some tips for tens (I ordered Tens machine and placing by myself on lower back just above ass (see in link above) + on feet, but I found very helpful to place electrode one just above coccyx and one on left side or right side of perineal body (adjust power by yourself, should not be burning or a lot of tigglings) - after that I have 60% improvement after 3 days in comparison to the status before.. Moreover all these symptoms now i understand are with nerves , when I stimulate sacral , pudental nerves and perineal body i feel all nerves on penis which always are panful and I was thinking it is bacteria. That is so pleasure to do it. Why I did not try it earlier??? I ordered machine 8 monthes ago but was afraid , now I understand how stupid I am
PS WHAT TO AVOID! CIALIS AVOID! PENILE PUMP THERAPY AVOID! A LOT OF MIXED SUPPLEMENTS AVOID! STANDARD KEGELS AVOID! RUNNING A LOT AVOID (BETTER SWIMMING + HYDROMASSAGE OF LOWER BACK + PELVIS!
PSS About bacterias - as you cant normally feel that you wanna pee, urine is left in you longer and it can cause some issues with bacteria. So , I would suggest you to have urine calendar + take D Mannose + drink 3 litrs of after per day at least (but dont before bed).
PSSS in meanwhile do MRI of poelvis with tractograhy + MRI lower back + colonoscopy in diagnosis aims and to exlude rectal cancer, lower back issues. TRactography cn show currecnt state of peripheral nerves - a lo of neurogist ignore it, find normal neurologist

I have Chronic Pancreatitis and have a Celiac Plexus Nerve Block first thing in the morning. I’m in pain management, but heavy duty painkillers aren’t enough and I’ve been hospitalized 9 times in the last 2 years. Constant Pain!!! What can I expect afterwards? The diagnostic injection gave me 4 pain free days for the first time in a few years, so I have high hopes. Will I be able to moderately drink alcohol occasionally after this without pain? I take Creon enzymes with every meal, and I’m only in my early 30’s so I’d like to know if any of you have had similar issues? Thank you!! I’m pretty nervous about the procedure, as it was incredibly painful when they did the diagnostic procedure.
I got the diagnostic test injection awhile back with a long acting anesthetic, and had 4 days of almost no pain at all in so long!! Then, when it wore off I had an acute pancreatitis attack... Last week I just got the Phenol nerve plexus block to fully kill the nerves in the exact same spot, but just had a terrible acute pancreatitis attack about a week later when it seemed to wear off again. I really need some legitimate good recipe resources, everything online is so terrible tasting and awful sounding!! Any ideas or websites??
I just asked my pain management doctor this morning about getting a celiac plexus nerve block injection after seeing it online. My mother (who has Fibromyalgia and a degenerative disk disease), had a couple while I was very young, and she said she got quite a bit of relief for about 6 weeks. I asked my doctor about it, and he explained it to me and immediately scheduled it for two weeks from now! I’d pay anything to have no pancreatitis pain for 6 weeks!!! Has anyone else ever had one? Here’s a link for reference: Link
I just had my first trial celiac plexus nerve block yesterday, and I’m wondering what the rest of you experienced? They went in and put dye in to make sure it was in the right spot, then injected me with anesthetic and a steroid to see how I do. If it works good, then they are going to do a phenol nerve ablation on the entire nerve bundle in a few weeks. I’m just wondering what to expect in the meantime? Any personal experiences would be extremely appreciated!! Thank you so much!!
In my right arm I’ve got a nerve injury it’s no the most severe thing but usually people ask about it
On the couch today, recovering from my 4th nerve block. They seem to help for a little while, up to a couple of months. This time I had one today and am getting another in 3 weeks to see if that'll make it last longer. Super sore, ice pack is in the freezer and I think my 2nd one's at work. Have to go to work tomorrow 'cause I can't spare the days off. Uggghhh.
Anyone else doing nerve blocks for pelvic pain? Which nerve blocks? Diagnoses: 3rd stage endo, pelvic floor dysfunction, chronic pelvic pain. So. Much. Fun. Thanks for being here!
I was travelling to visit family last week and ended up pushing myself harder than I was able to handle, by Wednesday last week my pain started climbing. Thursday and Friday pain kept increasing and I was nearing the limit of pain medication I had on hand to manage the pain (Flew home from NC to Ohio on Friday).
Saturday my pain became unmanageable, I should have gone to the ER hours before I did but was stubborn (stupid me!). By time I got into ER my pain was at an 8 and spiking at 9, vomiting, just utterly miserable.
It was early Sunday morning by time I was admitted, my oncologist came in to review my case and consult Sunday afternoon. He scheduled me for the nerve block Monday morning.
I was on some heavy duty pain meds but the nerve block was finally done around 4pm Monday (they had several trauma cases come in that were higher priority for me) and the proceedure took 30-60 minutes (I think? So groggy). When it was finished my main pain was gone. Completely and totally gone.
I still have a small ache where the procedure was done, it's about a 2 or 3, and feels different than the other pain I had so I expect that to finish healing (I bicycled 12+ miles last night and that aggravated the incision a bit) but I expect that to drop lower soon.
I haven't taken any pain medication since 1pm on Monday. From a 9 pain to nothing from one relatively minor procedure. Obviously this is not something you do on a whim but by god when you need it, it is wonderful.
No one knows how long it'll last, may be days, usually weeks. When it wears off we'll either repeat the procedure or try something else, just kinda play it by ear
I MEANT AXILLARY NERVE
Hey all. So I know that C5 and C6 innervate the axillary nerve.
However, when I look at the Brachial Plexus, I would predict that the axillary nerve would receive innervation from C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1, but that is untrue. Why is it that C7, C8, T1 don't innervate the axillary nerve?
An addition: The Radial nerve is actually along the same trace as the axillary nerve, and it DOES receive innervation from C5-T1. What's up with the discrepancy here?
All the other branches of the brachial plexus I can lead back to the correct roots, but for axillary nerve, I can lead all the nerve roots (C5-T1) to the axillary nerve. But, as we learned the axillary roots are only C5 & C6. So, is the axillary nerve a nerve root I just have to memorize or am I using the diagram wrong?
Just wondering if anyone has experience with this specific type of nerve blocking injection? I have CRPS in my right hand and my doctor asked if was something I would like to try. I have had stellate ganglion blocks, but those didn't work and I'm having a rough time with opioids, so this was one of my options. I've done some preliminary Googling, but I always like to hear first hand experiences. Thanks!
Just had the procedure yesterday. Has anyone undergone this procedure? I really need some answers. Like, when am I supposed to feel relief? What do I do if it works but my bladder is still damaged? I don't know if my bladder is damaged but what if this nerve block doesn't work? I need some answers!
Doing a paper on anatomical variations of the brachial plexus and this is the seminal paper...which I have no access to via either my university nor the Scottish healthcare Athens account! Anyone who could share this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Studying for an anatomy exam and I saw that a distinction I must know is that ventral rami for plexuses (except T2-T12 which are intercostal nerves), but dorsal rami do not. What do dorsal rami form and why do they not form plexuses? Thanks!
This certainly does require a fair bit of exposition and articulation but I’m merely leaving it to it since I seek answers solely off a certain bracket of folks and so forth hence bear the ambiguity in the post. Furthemore, I’m open to explicate it further along if anyone’s keen.

Had the diagnostic test block last week. Does the actual block of the nerves feel any different ?
