Having a big flare up and suspect it came from excessive stretching. Has anyone ever experienced that before?

Yes, stretching used to aggravate my symptoms.

Same here. Some stretching is good, because it helps with tight pelvic floor muscles (a common cause of PN). But certain stretches do seem to aggravate symptoms ... for me anyway. I use to do the "happy baby" yoga pose, which is great for pelvic floor. But that's one that seems to cause pain for me. So I work around it.

Can you please tell me how you are doing or if you’re the same or worse. Anything you found out?

I meant to reply to you. Please let me know of it is the rectal area or how you are doing. Any progress? Treatments that helped? Thank you in advance.
