That : That is a difficult diagnosis to make. I assume you are seeing a specialist for this. The best thing may be to see a pain management physician, as this is their area of expertise. They can often perform "blocking injections" to see if the pain is relieved, which can help make the diagnosis. If this works, then they can perform radiofrequency ablation to kill the nerves.

Not always: A basic, general pelvic exam cannot rule out a pelvic peripheral nerve problem. This would involve a more extensive exam where sensation to pin prick and fine touch are checked. For pain due to nerve entrapment, physical therapy is often helpful.
