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?

I was really firm in my boundaries and vocalized my desire to part ways with my parents 10 weeks ago. Ever since then it’s been non stop texts to me and my fiancé. I had a huge falling out with my parents 3 days before a major surgery I was having for debilitating chronic pain (endometriosis). That was my turning point. I confronted them about their lack of care and concern during the hardest time of my life during my last 3 years of dealing with this horrific bodily pain. I lost my job, my friends, my hobbies, entire livelihood and quality of life and they continued to neglect to show empathy, care and concern even after expressing my ideations to self delete multiple times in my life because of this.

Well…you all know the drill- they deflected, got aggressively defensive, and the conversation went nowhere. I’m absolutely sick of how much mental real-estate they take up in my mind. I just wanted it to end. So I officially went no contact after our conversation. I’ve been slowly feeling better since.

I just got back from a one week vacation to celebrate my recovery from surgery and I came home to a thick typed out letter in the mail.

Do I read it? I don’t want to right now.

I want to relish in the happy memories of my vacation. Interacting with them and even talking about them physically hurts my body and contributes greatly to my condition.

Having them re-appear in my thoughts this way is so damaging. I swear I’m doing better in life when I manage to completely forget about them.

I’m just upset, venting, looking for support.
