Thanks very much for the reply. I should have included more information: 1. As stated, this pain started a few hours after doing a weight-lifting workout 6 weeks ago. I forgot to mention that for the next few days it felt as if there was a golf ball or foreign object inside me. But within about two ...

Hi friends. About 7 weeks ago I began experiencing a new persistent pain in my pelvis that's not getting any better. I had been working out for the past 4 months without much difficulty/increase in pain, always doing plenty of pelvic stretches before and after the workouts. On a Monday morning I wen...

Hi everybody. Happy 2012 to all :) I could use some advice re: my situation: I'm 26 years old, Canadian, male, in otherwise good health. Tall and skinny: 6'6, 175lb. In Feb 2010, after a day of work (persistent but not intense physical labour) I began experiencing a very significant burning/stinging...

Hi everybody. To be short, I believe I have been suffering from some kind of Pudendal Neuralgia/Nerve Entrapment since (at least) Feb 2010. I have seen a number of specialists, tried various treatment modalities, and had many medical tests performed over the last 1.5years. Frankly, I am extremely fr...

Thanks very much for the replies! I appreciate the input. I started PT a few weeks ago. I'm currently seeing the doctor once per week; we're doing both internal and external work. I also do the PT exercises that I was instructed to perform twice per day. Obviously it's too early to tell if the PT wi...

I too am a patient of Dr. Gordon's. I had to wait eight months to see him. In the meantime, icing your rectum could provide you with instant relief. I do this about three times a day. Try it if you haven't already!

The weight times are ridiculous

Thank you kindly for the replies. I am still waiting to 1) begin pelvic floor therapy with a nearby therapist and 2) have my first appointment at the Mt. Sinai pain clinic with Dr. Gordon and Dr. Peng. The only update is that I had bloodwork done to test for Hepatitis and Lyme Disease: both results ...

One more thing I feel I should mention: I read a lot of posts on here (and similar websites) with people complaining about rectal pain in different areas of the rectum. My rectal pain always feels like it is right at the tip of the skin. For instance, when I apply the Xylocaine ointment and I touch ...

Thanks very much for the quick and helpful replies! I appreciate the responses :) When I first started learning about PNE a few months ago I basically ignored/skimmed over info relating to physiotherapy. But I've recently learned of the importance that PT, especially pelvic floor therapy, can have i...

BTW, I've tried topical creams, Lyrica, Cymbalta, Amitriptyline, pain killers, etc. and nothing has brought me relief.

Only cannabis seems to help (sometimes) with my Allodynia.
