After reading this post: viewtopic.php?t=1555&sid=f4d4d4be06bc5b ... 5dd3489cbc from Dr. Wise on EMG readings last week I decided to have my pelvic floor re-checked. I was previously working on the assumption that as my EMG readings were normal, I didn't have any trigger points, and I had stopped going to Physio.
My Girlfreind is a nurse, and has been shown how to check the pelvic floor. She found trigger points on my pubococcygeus just below my prostate and just to the side of my prostate towards my pubic bone. I have now seen my Physio and had these points released and a couple of other ones have been found. We also managed to release a large trigger point at the back on my ischiococcygeus - when this released, his finger 'jumped' in by about an inch! I'm much better already.
Hopefully this is the last piece of my puzzle.....
Aaaaaah......That's better!!!
