Hey Balenul, What I mean by “delayed” flare is that I cannot trigger my symptoms in the moment. So I don’t really know what causes them. But let’s say I’m active or sitting a lot one day. Maybe later that night or the next day, I’ll have a “flare up” out of nowhere (no particular trigger). So I’m ju...

Hey Dexter,

Just wanted to check-in. Any updates or progress in the past week with regard to your employer, doctors, etc?

Hope you’ve been well.

Hey pudendo, Have you tried any pudendal nerve blocks yet? Might be a good at least diagnostic option if not. I know you mentioned disc degeneration and lordosis. Do you remember exactly where you had disc issues? This is a total shot in the dark. But even though you don’t have “back pain”, I would ...

Thank you Violet, I really appreciate your responses. Considering I felt no explicit tenderness at the ischial spine (and the fact I even ask to ask) leads me to believe that I don't have damage/compression/entrapment there. I haven't tested Alcock's canal yet (honestly I'm nervous to, as I think th...

And of course, do not rush into anything even remotely more invasive until you have exhausted all of the conservative treatment options thoroughly first. The following is not advice in any way as I am obviously not a doctor. This is part of my recent experience that might be of some use related to y...

Hey Dexter, Our symptoms seem very similar. Mine started getting bad a few months ago. I’m still working on addressing these issues. While unfortunately I can’t give you answers, I might be able to at least help share some information based on my recent experiences. I would recommend several opinion...

Thank you Violet. I guess I’m still somewhat confused what “tender” means in this context. Like it reproduces the exact pain? Or just that there is a feeling of pressure? Sorry for all of the questions but I appreciate your patience! Hit in the crotch with a baseball bat is a pretty good way to desc...

Hey Violet (or anyone!) 🙏 Sorry to bother again with wall of text! What should be expected on internal rectal pudendal palpitation test? So I had one today with the new pelvic floor PT. She mentioned my pelvic floor was not particularly tight really. She said my reflex muscles seemed to be behaving ...

Hey Violet, thanks again for taking the time to share your help/info/wisdom. Yes, this type of burning pain only seems to happen when I sleep, especially supine. It will wake me up. I’ve since started to sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs which seems to help. I’ve actually now had about ...

Violet - yes I am definitely nervous, and you’re right, I absolutely need relief and to help diagnosis this issues. My entire life right now is just trying to manage these issues. April/Flyer - I’m really trying my best not to obsess about the stupid use of the percussive massage gun, but these guns...
