Symptoms come and go

[Ashley2486]

Do pudendal nerve issues come and go? I'm so confused. I have been going to a physical therapist and I was starting to feel better. Over the weekend of 4th of July, I was going to the bathroom pretty normal... More normal than I have in a while. Now all of the sudden I am having weird urine retention feeling and not being able to have a solid bowel movement. How can I be fine one day and then have issues the next? Is this something that is consistent or does it come and go? I'm almost wondering if I should get checked for an infection. I have been dealing with the retention for over a week now. Nothing is making it better. This is hopeless. I felt like the physical therapy was getting better. I hate this stupid problem more than anything! I feel like I can't even live a normal life. This is the dumbest thing ever and I'm so mad it happened....

Please keep me posted. I have urine retention too and would like to understand it more.

Yes, symptoms can come and go. Warm water might help your muscles relax so you can go. You could try a sitz bath or try going in the shower which would be a better choice if you do have an infection.
