Pain In The Mom 
I understand being tired of the pain. My hat is really off to you, as you’ve been dealing with it for longer than I have. I was diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia in fall 2016 after a few months of severe and unrelenting pain. Long story short, I eventually was evaluated for pubalgia/sports hernia. I was considered a borderline case, but was offered surgery (and when I googled sports hernia, it didn’t sound like me, but then I was told that it’s quite different in women than in men, and most of what’s publicly known is about men). I had the surgery in February, and after a long recovery I’m grateful to say that the sitting/rear pain is gone. (And even the surgeon can’t say the exact mechanism by which pubalgia causes pudendal nerve pain – the surgery isn’t done near the pudendal nerve, but it’s all one big related system down there…it’s still amazing to me that it worked.) Still some front pelvic pain but nowhere in the neighborhood of the horror I was living with before the surgery. I know exactly how exhausting, demoralizing, and lonely this pain can be. I’m glad the internet allows people to connect and know you’re not the only one. I pray for relief for you!!
Thank you for writing this. I am tired too.
