pudendal neuralgia
I'm really starting to think this is a pudendal nerve problem, and maybe was caused by the injury of being pulled on the scrotum too hard a year ago. The left side is the worst, the pain following along the course of the pudendal nerve from the tight ache in the left glute by the coccyx all the way into the left groin and ischiocavernosus, bulbospongeosus, spermatic cord, and epididymis, with discomfort anorectally, and urethral pain the comes and goes, as well as the burning ache just under the skin. I've read info online about it and much of it seems to be bullshit, especially the info that suggests surgery. I'm afraid that I'm not doing enough to help it and it's going to become permanent nerve damage. But what else can I do? I'm doing PT, and all that other stuff.
Age: 49| Onset Age: 47| Symptoms: Pain locations: Intermittent left and right front pelvic floor lateral to urethra; occasionally left side tailbone pain (rarer); left spermatic chord pain (become rare); Post BM-Pain helped by distraction during Bowel Movement.| Current meds: None. Helped by: deep breathing, mediation, hiking, distractions, exercise. Approximately 98% improved, varying depending on stress levels.

You cannot injure the pudendal nerve by pulling on the scrotum. Impossible. Please stay away from forums that discuss the pudendal nerve and pudendal nerve entrapment; these forums are full of people who are, frankly, nuts.
If the tug on your scrotum is the cause of your pain, and I doubt it very much, then it would be because a small injury was created in the pelvic region to the scrotum or related structures which led to a neuronal windup and then hyperalgesia. These conditions, and CPPS generally, do not lead to "permanent nerve damage".
The use of the phrase "permanent nerve damage" shows, along with your constant posting and the length of this thread, that you are catastrophizing the condition. Patients who catastrophize usually take much longer to recover, research has shown.
This thread is going round and round in circles, and what I usually do when that happens is give the poster time to rest on the bench, because I think the constant querulous posting is counterproductive both for the member and the other readers. I'm putting you into read-only mode for 6 months. If your condition significantly improves during that time or thereafter, email me and you'll get posting privileges again.
