Course Description:

Pudendal neuralgia and pudendal nerve entrapment: these diagnoses are often confusing to both patients and healthcare providers. Additionally, there are numerous differential diagnoses to consider with pelvic neuralgia symptoms. Patients seek out the answers to these questions and often find there is a wide variability in answers and level of expertise or understanding from health care providers: Do I have pudendal nerve neuralgia or entrapment?; What are the best diagnostic tests for an accurate diagnosis?; What type of treatment options are there?; Is it worth getting blocks and injections?; If so, what should I consider?; What exercises are safe?; Do I need surgery for this and what’s the best type of surgery? We can help patients by understanding the various differentials, using critical thinking, and knowing what to include in assessments and treatments
