Never rains but it pours. Went to see the Uro yesterday, waste of time. Was totally clueless about trigger points and this being a muscular problem. Could really suggest anything to help with frequent urination, took another urine sample, suggested I go on low dose antibiotics for 3 months, which I won't do.
Then, get home, my fiance of 8 years is there, packing her bags and leaving.... for another bloke.... am totally devasted and the pain now is intense.
Yes, I know now this is a stress related condition, more than ever... just totally gutted though, was making progress too.... (
Age: 33 | Onset Age: 32 Initial Symptoms: Frequent urination Current Symptoms: The odd feeling of frequency but not much else Helped By: Not thinking about it, hot bath, red wine, light exercise, Bowen technique seems to help, getting on with my life Worsened By: catastrophic thinking, worrying things will get worse, feeling depressed, reading websites too often! Work! Sitting in work all day isn't good!! Current Progress : Since 1st Sept 08, no pain!!! :)
What a bummer!! I'm very sorry that you have to deal with that emotional heart break. Hang in there.
If there is any consolation, you can at least for sure know that this is a stress disorder and you can take this time to only focus on yourself and not have to deal with anyone else while you heal. Take care...
When you can...I would hit up the first titty bar you can go to with the boys and have a good time. Stay away from the Booze though
Cheers...

I encourage anxiety prone UCPPS people to consider L-Theanine Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.
Sorry about the fiancee situation. I know that this is painful and certainly irritating the condition but there are a lot of great women out there and I will just send you positive thoughts that you might find another deeply caring and loving woman to have a relationship with.
I'm not one for strip clubs so I'm not sure if that is the answer - they just seem to frustrate people.
I hope that you will continue to find a good Dr. that will be progressive in his thinking about the stress / chronic prostatitis / chronic pelvic pain syndrome aspects of this condition. Meanwhile, keep working on relaxation and stretching and positive meditation.
I had 3 good Dr.s and NONE of them were super pro-ABX. But there are apparently some guys still in the dark.
We're here for you though!! Cheers.

Strip clubs are no cure answere, that was more of a have some fun and blow off some steam if you will.
