one-sided

Post by londoner »

All my symptoms are very much one-sided: right-hand side of the prostate eaculatory pain, right testicle aches etc. Is that normal?

I'm sure it's possible that you have worse trigger points on one side than the other. It's not uncommon for people to report pain in one side or another. Those are the same people that come back six months later and say the pain has "moved" too. Internally, 75% of my trigger points were on the left, therefore causing pain in the left. Perhaps your right-side trigger points haven't formed (or may never form), although it's possible for pain on the left to be caused by trigger points on the right too.
This is NOT medical advice. I am NOT a doctor.

Interesting. Many thanks.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone else whose symptoms are all one-sided.

Thanks...

Yep, my symptoms were all on the left, although I did have a few TP's on the right hand side of my pelvic floor.
This is not Medical advice - Consult your Doctor!

Age:39. Age at onset:31. Symptoms prior to treatment: Golf ball in rectum, severe urinary frequency (2-3x/hr; 5-10x/night); weak stream; painful ejaculation; coccygeal pain; tip of penis pain; general pelvic pain on left; testicular pain; supra-pubic pain. Current | Symptoms: Urinary frequency 1x every 2-3 hrs and 1-2 x a night; mild pelvic pain on left hand side (all symptoms still improving!)
Helped by: Trigger point release; avoiding exercise; pelvic floor relaxation; Neurontin decreased bladder sensitivity somewhat. Worsened by: Exercise; frequent ejaculation; ibuprofen irritates bladder. Made no difference: Diet; biofeedback; quercetin; Steroid anti-inflammatories; Elavil.

****UPDATE*** I am now able to sit again at work all day, and can perform moderate aerobic exersise again for the first time in 8 years!!!
