The last two weeks have been quite eventful! At my last checkup with my urogynecologist, he made the assessment that the pelvic nerve causing me so much trouble is the pudendal nerve. He also decided to perform a pudendal nerve block that very day. The procedure was painful, but afterwards, I had two blessed days of numbness on my left side. After the numbness wore off, the pain roared back with a vengeance. That tells the doctors that we are on the right track, but will need several more injections in the upcoming months to see if they provide some relief.

I also officially requested disability accommodations at work, so for the next couple of months, I will get to work from home in the afternoons. That is a major blessing and I'm hoping that it helps with the chronic pain.

Happy September!
