UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

I have been doing bikram yoga for almost 3 years now - 3 or 4 times a week on average. It is something that was recommended to me from my pelvic therapist. It has been very helpful for me. It is time consuming but I will continue to do it...most likely forever.

I agree with webslave that any ...

I took Rapaflo for a month, as an experiment, after my last visit to my Urologist. I thought it worked pretty well. I was able to sit at times without discomfort or a cushion. Now I didn't care for the congestion or the retro grade ejaculation. I need to call my Uroloigist and consult with him about ...

Back with more updates -

I started doing reiki sessions...DMcU thanks for the tip. Actually it seems to help. I think I have been 7 or 8 times. It has relaxed my glutes and pelvic area. I am not sure exactly how it works but it also relaxes my mind and it is a cool, natural buzz for a few hours. I ...

I have purchased about 3 cushions and in my experience you get what you pay for. I didn't get any of the cushions in you post. It is a little bit of trial and error to see which one works best for you.

I have this cushion and it ...

Hey guys- I am back...not that I left. :P

I have some updates and looking for any advice / thoughts...

I am continuing to have pain sitting and standing (1-4 pain scale). My discomfort feels more like it is my coccyx / tailbone area when sitting (on cushions at work and car). I still have ...

It was and still is important for my recovery. I get the most benefit from external trigger point. My glutes, hamstrings, piriformis, quadratus lumborum (QL) were full of trigger points. I go once a month now - today I had a session as a matter of fact. These muscle groups all have effects on my ...

Update - I have been taking this for a few weeks now. I am not the most consistent with it but overall it seems to help me relax my pelvic area. I notice my clenching is reduced for a few hours and it lifts my mood a little bit as well.

I will keep it up and check back in a few more weeks.

I agree with webslave on both of his points. I would drop him if possible and if not try to educate him....if he is open to that.

I had a similar experience with a GP I had for a number of years. He meant well but had a horrible bedside manner and talked down to me, all the while not knowing how to ...

They help me. I sit on one at work. My chair at work blows so it's like sitting on concrete... :evil:

In my experience you get what you pay for. Try them out first, if you can. I have purchased 3 so far. The one I use at work is fabricated by yours truly - the cushion was cheap foam and was flat ...

I didn't fill it yet, but I spoke to the pharmacist. She said no issues with my hot yoga. Yeah, easy for her to say...

I will give ya'll an update in a couple of weeks.

I pre-ordered this book and it's on it's way. Let you know my review when I finish it.

Has anyone tried this medication? My GP prescribed it to me today as an "experiment". I did some research and it seems to work for IBS - which isn't a problem for me. He wants to see if this will relax my anal tension. It isn't too bad recently. It varies from a 0-2 throughout the day.

This blurb ...

This is a little off the typical discussion here but it is chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome related...potentially.

I have an apparent opportunity to change jobs that would also increase my base salary by 15-20 k and overall pay by about that amount. I have been with my current ...

I found these capsules on amazon the other day. I might give it a shot after my quercetin experiment I trying now. I picked up the spice but I am not to fond of the taste to eat it more than a few times a week.

Austin - I emailed Kimberlee - very prompt and helpful. She is the person that referred me to my current therapist - since I am 2.5 hours from Austin.
