Pain levels changing

[mbaker]

Question for Webslave, scooby, etc:

I've been noticing over the past month that my pain level has changed and wanted feedback from you guys. From beginning of this condition until then I had pain every day, some days pretty bad. Mostly hyper-sensitivity and soreness in the penis but also perineum and pubic soreness. I've noticed in the last month that the following is happening:

1) I can go 1 or more days with no pain, then it comes back for unknown reasons
2) When I have pain, it can occur suddenly for 15 min, an hour, or couple of hours, only to suddenly disappear again. It may wax/wane several times during the day to no appreciable pattern.
3) My pain level has changed from constant soreness (like a bruise) to just increased sensitivity
4) The pain has moved from the entire penis to just parts of the shaft

I don't know what to make of this, whether it's a good sign or not. I do the SP protocol with Webslave's enhancements (P-Q, etc).

Thoughts?

It's a good sign. Seems to be fading out for you.

[inflamed]

Good sign, just keep doing what you have been I suggest, if not even more.

[scotsman]

Yes, as the others have said, it's all good signs and looks like you're really starting to break the cycle. Keep it up and keep us posted

Just keep on doing what you are doing, I've found this pain does alter through treatment but not for the worse even though sometimes it might feel so. I've often seen this as a positive as it shows something is being done to it.

Good Luck

That's exactly how mine went before I went into my 4 year remission

For the last week I have faded down to this level also and hope I'm heading for another remission

Always remember and be cautious about what you do as it can strike back .Remember the things that make it flare even though you can easily forget, for me when I was in my last remission (pain free) I knew I could still bring a flare on for 30 mins or so by having sex after alcohol or on a bladder that was not empty

Thanks for the advice guys. Here's hoping this is a turning point for me.

My pain level always goes up the following day with TP and PT. First I thought this was a good sign. I have a ton of TPs. My PT is very knowledgable on internal work as this is the only thing she does - but on women primarily. She also started external myofascial release around the pubic area which also resulted in great pain the day after. I have doing this for a couple of months - but it gets no better. Should I be concerned?

[webslave]

Tiger, you have to have the PT quite often to make it work. You also have to consciously relax the pelvic floor in between the sessions.

Just having periodic visits to a PT will not suffice.

Don't forget about relaxation either Tiger. This might be equally as important as the PT. Done correctly, it's amazing what it can do to your pain levels and trigger point activity. Keep up the good work!
