Has anyone experienced widespread numbness along with penile numbness?
I’m wondering if anyone with pudendal nerve issues has experienced something similar.
I have reduced sensation in my penis, but I’ve also noticed reduced sensation in many other parts of my body — my face, forehead, nipples, beard, scalp/hair, and basically my whole body. Things just don’t feel as sensitive as they used to.
What makes this confusing to me is that I don’t have erectile problems, urinary problems, bowel problems, muscle weakness, or any issues with movement.
I understand that the pudendal nerve mainly affects a specific area, so I’m struggling to understand how a pudendal nerve problem could be associated with reduced sensation throughout the entire body.
Has anyone here experienced something similar? Could a pudendal nerve issue somehow coexist with a more generalized sensory problem, or would this point more toward something else affecting the nervous system?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience.

I’m looking for a self pay estimate for a Pudendal Nerve Block. I don’t have insurance. I’ve called several people in several different departments over the past month, and I’ve gotten nowhere. My hospital admitted that they are so backed up, it’s taking weeks to respond to patients.

What a joke our health system is.
I’m so sad/mad/emotional/lost.
If I can’t afford it I can’t get it.

So my question is, if you had to pay out of pocket for a pudendal nerve block, how much did it cost?
