I thought I would give an update since people who get better rarely post. Once I took to standing instead of sitting and found a very good cushion (flat, middle cutout) for driving, life became a lot easier. And actually, I could sit if I curled one leg under me so no pressure was on my perineum. Si...

Hey Joe! When I starting standing full time to avoid sitting, after a couple of months, I developed the symptoms you describe--like sciatica. Hamstring stretches were the cure. Do the one where you lie on your back and hook your foot behind your other thigh and pull. You can find sciatica stretches ...

I would definitely call mine a mild case. Triggered when I sneezed while sitting in August 2013, but I had aggravated it back in 2009 carrying my kid on my back all day. It peaked in mid-September from lots of commuting and tons of sitting in a hard chair. Throbbing testicle pain, radiating to mid t...

What are/were your symptoms, and what has been the timeline of your recovery?

Thanks!

That's totally different from my symptoms. The itching often precedes pain (and I once understood pain to be minor irritation of pain sensors, but the conventional wisdom is changing). The past couple of days, I've felt like I had to pee all the time despite not having to pee. I wonder if it's relat...

Thank you. My hope is that because my symptoms are not very severe that I will heal. It's strange how the discomfort will travel. Sometimes it is in my perineum, sometimes in my scrotum, and tonight, it is in the juncture of my legs and groin. It itches in my scrotum. Has this happened to you (or an...

I think I understand why so few post their success stories. You come here looking for support and hope when you're feeling down. If/when you recover, the last thing you want to do is talk about your problem, especially since a component is mental (and thinking about it). You just want the period beh...

Pull ups and push ups do not seem to aggravate my issue (which is pretty much just with sitting). Between walking, pull ups and push ups, you're pretty well set. Swimming is nice, but I don't have constant access to a pool.

My flare-ups were always acute until this latest. That said, it was quite bad the second week of September, then gradually got better once I found a knee chair and a donut. I reduced my sitting, took steroid anti-inflammatories, and by the third weekend in October, felt almost healed. I was sitting ...
