It's definitely worth getting a second opinion. I've been promising myself to get examined at Stanford. It's only about a 5-6 hour drive from where I live, so I should take advantage of the close proximity. However, I've felt better the last several months and so I put it off.alprost wrote: Your Doc certainly sounds like a very knowledgeable Urologist, and the fact that he even checked your pelvic floor puts him light years ahead of most. BUT, trigger points are a specialist are very few Uro's have any knowledge of, and there is a specific methodology in their identification and treatment.
Whilst I was at Stanford there were 2 patients there who had had there pelvic floors checked by well known and respected Urologists and who had been advised that there was not a poblem with there pelvic floor. However, both intimated that when they were evaluated by the PT at the clinic, numerous symptom-referring trigger points were found.

lightning tree , I gave up my jogging for about 6 mnths because of the pain
. I resumed my jogging just not as far . I found wearing biking pants instead of a jock helped . So I went out and bought a speedo bathing suit
(not the thong style) and I wear this under my jogging shorts and it has
helped a lot . I can actually run a couple times a week without much pain .
Just try not to run for a long time .

Thanks trac,
I am going to try that approach.

This is not medical advice, and I am NOT a doctor of medicine or a related field.
* 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.
