Headache IN or pain ON the pelvis?

[bti20]

I often wonder how many men are afflicted with what I consider to be my key complaint: pain resulting from any tactile contact with the scrotum or penis. I found that in AHIP there was not much mention of symptoms that resulted from external stimulation. It is for this reason that I doubt that the protocol specified by David Wise can help in some cases. My pelvic pain feels less like a headache, and more like surface irritation/burning; which then tranfers into a muscle problem simply in the same way that any sharp pain seems to radiate from a surface point and into the surrounding tissue. No matter how much I 'relax' I can't envisage this surface pain dissapearing (and it doesn't - I have tried relaxation/stretching for sustained periods). Is there a sense in which in some cases relaxation/stretching treats the effect and not the cause of pelvic pain?

Without trying the internal trigger point massage and paradoxical relaxation therapy, there's not much point in guessing its effects on you, based on your particular symptoms. The sort of pain you describe is clearly neurological in origin, and the AHIP therapy does address that. Without actually undergoing some sort of physiotherpay to your pelvis, you cannot say much more.

I don't know how your pain is exactly but I thought mine was surface pain also because contact seemed to irritate it to know end . But it turned out to be pain coming from all the nerve endings . I had all the burning symptoms , it felt like everything was on fire , but it was internal . even if it felt like it was not . This pain really truly jumps around from the anus to the tip of the penis . I know the relaxation sure helped me .
