Magnesium
I have been using about 800 mg of magnesium for idiopathic pelvic/prostate pain. (Not magnesium oxide because its hard to absorb and can cause bowel problems.) I have been using magnesium glycinate and magnesium taurate. I have tried almost every anti-inflammatory supplement on the market including NSAIDs and COX 2 inhibitors. Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer and keeps calcium out of the tissues.
Age:33 | Onset Age:on and off since 16 | Symptoms: Semen Leakage when having a bowel movement, perineum pain, urethritits symptoms, Itching urethra, NO Bacteria ever found. | Helped By:reading A Headache in the Pelvis. | Worsened By: sitting, worrying about my problem (Antibiotics don't help, no bacteria in prostatic secretions).

Re: Magnesium
a lot of things actually. High blood pressure for one. It definitely relaxes my muscles and I have less pain.
