My doctor doesn’t think it’s ischial bursitis. I think the pain distribution seems closer to PCFN but I don’t know how I would have it bilaterally given that unilateral is already rare enough.

From a digital rectal exam, he noted that my pelvic floor is very tight which is likely irritating the pudendal nerve. I've started doing pelvic floor therapy, but what is the prognosis for this type o...
