        Intense Pain During Intercourse and Sitting – Dr. Elkwood Treats Pudendal Neuralgia

        Around 10 years after having her last child, Deborah started having intense pain in her pelvic area. “It felt like someone was stabbing a knife inside me,” she recounts. This constant throbbing or sharp, stabbing pain continued without any answers, ruining an intimate relationship and making sitting a struggle. After seeing multiple specialists, Deborah found Dr. Andrew Elkwood, who specializes in the treatment of pudendal neuralgia. This is Deborah’s recovery story. For more information, visit our Pudendal Neuralgia Program.
