trigger point? perineum
I was doing my usual work on my abdominals today with a Theracane, lying down and had a go at my perineum, I think I hit on a trigger point, got sharpe pain at tip of penis. Is this likely to be a trigger point? as far as I know the perineum is all muscle but I am no expert.

It has a lot of muscle, especially as you get closer to the anus. But there are some bones there that can make it very painful. My advice is to take it slow. Referred pain can happen for lots of reasons, and not all of them involve trigger points. With that said, I massage my perineum regularily with my Theracane, and have gotten great results.

Hey inflamed,
Have you ever seen detailed diagrams of the perineal musculature? There are some good ones out on the Internet at medical sites. Very complex place, the perineum. Duplicate layers of lateral and transverse muscles, cartileedge, and 'grey muscle'. Complicated. And before chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome I thought it was just a spot between two more important spots.

* Age:33 Onset: February 2004.
* 99.9% IMPROVEMENT in 2.5 Years with the first year being the really hard part
* Current Symptoms: Mild irritation of perineal muscles on occasion. Relieved for days at a time by a specific stretch (see below).
* Initial Symptoms: Terrible penile, urethral, rectal, and perineal burning/aching with addition afferent sensations.
* Current Treatments: Deep stretching of the legs and pelvis. Most effective: Deep psoas and levitar ani stretch using the first phase of the "pigeon pose" from Yoga. When a deep pulling is felt in the middle of the pelvis next to the upper rectum, symptoms are completely alleviated for several days.
* Past Treatments Hyperprotection of the perineum for 1.7 years, Walking, Rectal biofeedback, Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, Conditioned deep relaxation practice, Men's Multi-Vitamin and an Extra B-complex pill, all seemed to help.
