I can understand how strange sounds as you describe can make someone worry Sunil. Thanks for your explanation of these events when not accompanied by pain. After all experiencing acute pain is the bodies way of saying, beware, there is something amiss here. So it does make sense that these noises are not always a problem; just 'weird!'.
You seem to have got a good system for relaxation going there too. So important, as the wind up of tension can just bring even more pain. We could probably all do with taking a leaf from your book.
Tackling the PT and post PT pain by doing it later in the week sounds sensible, it will give you the opportunity to recover more, hopefully. I would still monitor your sitting even when at work tho' Are you able to do that and stand or kneel or have an adaptable desk at work?
What weekend activities do you plan instead of sitting? Sounds like a stupid question doesn't it but it could open opportunities for getting out and about more :D
Take care,
Helen

Sunil, since my surgery I have been getting up every 15- 30 minutes or so to walk away from my chair even if it is just to throw sometging in the trash or pick up a printout at the end of my aisle of 4 desks. That seems to help break things up and keep me from getting out of alignment or locking me up. I even bought a timer that vibrates to remind me and not bother others. You are doing great and so glad for you and appreciate all the info being passed on to us. Take Care

2007-08 pelvic muscles spasms treated by EGS. 6/27/10 sat too long on hard chair- spasms, EGS not work Botox help, cortisone shots in coccyx help, still pain, PT found PNE & sent me to Dr Marvel nerve blocks & MRN, TG left surgery 5/9/11. I have chronic bunion pain surgery at age 21. TG gave me back enough sitting to keep my job & join in some social activities. I wish the best to everyone! 2019 luck with orthotics from pedorthist & great PT allowing me to get off oxycodone.

Hope you are having a relaxing restful weekend, Sunil. It is very nice not to have to sit as much and to be able to sleep in! ;) You do have friends here who understand the lifestyle restrictions -- although we can only be friends via cyberspace. But we do understand. ;)

Take it easy,

PNE since 2002. Started from weightlifting. PNE surgery from Dr. Bautrant, Oct 2004. Pain now is usually a 0 and I can sit for hours on certain chairs. No longer take medication for PNE. Can work full time and do "The Firm" exercise program. 99% cured from PGAD. PNE surgery was right for me but it might not be for you. Do your research.

Sunil, I'm sorry your weekend didn't work out as planned. Maybe some counseling would help you integrate back into society now that your pain levels are down some. What do you think?

Hi Sunil,

Do you drink much caffeine at all?

The reason I ask is because I am also prone to bouts of anxiety. Last year in February, I finally got around to giving up caffeine for good, and most of my anxiety just simply disappeared; life was a lot more tranquil on a neurochemical level.

Pain started Aug 2008 after prolonged sitting.
Referal to Dr Natasha Curran Nov 2008.
First Nerve Block Jan 2009.
Second Nerve Block Feb 2009.
Physiotherapy Feb 2009.
Started practicing sitting four times a day with the amount being increased by 10% each week:-
Feb 2009: 5 seconds x 4
Nov 2009: 1 minute x 4
Dec 2010: 1 hour x 4
July 2011: 3 hours x 4 (cured)
Had relapse in March 2012.
Sitting normally again October 2013. No pudendal pain, but some lingering muscle tightness.
