UCPPS - Prostatitis, Interstitial Cystitis Forum

Thank you webslave, I will have to talk to my GP about starting them. I suppose as well that because I’m suffering alone and it’s hard to talk to people about it, I was seeking your opinion. It’s getting better day by day and the irritation is quite mild, it’s just that it’s somewhat persistent. Do ...

Coughing, sneezing, carrying stuff, none of those are typical causes of what is usually a sporting injury. Groin strains make walking, lifting the knee, or moving the leg away from or toward the body difficult and painful. Is that what you have?

Good work getting that u/s organized!


Hi ...

Hi Webslave, went to another PT last week and has diagnosed it as a minor strain with tendinitis from over use. Basically when I went away I was incredibly active, I went from years of being sedentary to walking miles and miles, dancing, sex etc I think having an enflamed tendon right next to my ...

No hernia on the scan in the end thankfully. It does seem to be some kind of adductor strain, I’ve got all the classic symptoms and none of this has been part of pelvic pain for me in the time I’ve had the condition, which is now quite mild and causes few issues.

I’m going to get to another physio ...

I did notice that before all this developed that my left groin felt a bit tight so I decided to stretch the groin. It was sore after the stretch so perhaps that’s what did it.

Yes I do have pain with walking and it can go right down the inner thigh, I can’t take big strides as that aggravates it ...

Thanks webslave. There’s a few potential triggers, I did carry heavy things down some stairs, I was also very stressed and tired then came down with a virus that caused a lot of coughing and sneezing. Perhaps being so run down on top of that straining could be have the straw that broke the camel’s ...

Hey Webslave, so it started becoming clearer that this is pretty much all likely down to a groin strain, long story short, the injury to the inside of my thigh became pretty apparent over the space of a week or so. I’ve been to the pelvic pain PT and she diagnosed it is a groin strain. She didn’t ...

Thank you so much Webslave, I appreciate your advice greatly. It seems like this testicle pain/discomfort is related to a groin pull in relation to the adductors. I think all the coughing and sneezing during a time when I was extremely run down caused me to possibly pull or overuse these muscles ...

Yes, a small, tender prostate is common in UCPPS. Also, pressing on the prostate puts pressure on the insertions of the levator ani muscles, so it's difficult to know where the pain is coming from, prostate or muscles. Your problems with the back passage could be the source of the hypertonic ...

Thank you very much Webslave. PSA reassuringly came back at 0.6 ug/L. Waiting on an ultrasound of the area and I’m going to see colorectal about the back door issues. I’ll get using the dilators in the meantime. Thank you very much, I really appreciate everything you do for CPPS patients

Because of the fact this has been going on for so long, I’ve decided to go back to the uro, just in case something was missed that might be easily treated. As part of that, I had to have a prostate exam at the GP’s office today. My prostate is definitely sensitive/somewhat painful to the touch ...

@European:

Hi European, I’m sorry I never got back to you! I haven’t been on this forum often for a few years. I appreciate your message and I hope you got through that rough flare and are feeling better now. This condition is very up and down for men like us, it isn’t a an easy ride. I hope you’re ...

Thank you webslave, everything you say is completely logical and when you’re in the middle of a flare it’s hard to think logically at times. I’ve taken a break from masturbating, meditated, gone for walks, started back on quercetin and PEA, met up with friends and done things that otherwise take my ...

Hi Webslave, I’m in a bit of a rut at the moment after overindulging in sexual activity. As you may remember I’ve had issues with the veins being bulbous and sore on my penis ever since this began. The other night whilst masturbating overly vigorously, one of the veins began to get sore (a burning ...

I’m slowly improving at the moment and seeing that this can be turned around. As well as having PT (sometimes a couple of weeks in a row but generally every few weeks), I’ve been taking quercetin which I do think is helping, most days I’ve been going for a walk and I do belly breathing and a light ...
