I would like what exactly is the mechanism of worsening the symptoms when doing exercise eg running. Is it because of nerve stretching by pelvic muscles contractιοn? Is it because of vibrations?
Did you find any aerobic exercise except swimming and walking that does not aggravate?
Thank you

That is a great question, which I have as well. It seems that swimming and walking are the only 2 aerobic exercises that I can do that don't aggravate my condition.

The mechanism of injury may vary from person to person. For some people it is due to the nerve being compressed between the sacrotuberous and sacrospinous ligaments as described in Prof Robert's article.
http://www.pudendalhope.info/sites/defa ... Robert.pdf This can cause either a compression injury or a stretch injury if the nerve can't glide. I had enlarged, hardened sclerosed ligaments and the nerve was rubbing on them during exercise as well.
