Hey everyone,
I am writing about the ending of my latest "flare up" to get any related feedback. I was having perineal and anal pain for about a 10 days. On the last day of the "flare-up", I stepped out of the shower and suddenly had an intense pain that ran from my rectum up through my deep right pelvis up to about the upper bladder area. It was a very sharp pain that made me call out loud.
That evening and for the past 5 days I have had near negligible symptoms. What the hell was that shooting pain, and why did it precipitate a sudden reduction in my symptoms?
This has happened once before, by the way.

* 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.

Maybe you tweaked a nerve or squeezed a trigger point. Not enough so to cause a flare up, but enough so that you referred pain. Every time I do abdominal massage, I cause referred pain (sometimes severe pain), but this doesn't necessarily precipitate a flare up or a reduction in symptoms. Whatever it was, I'd enjoy the lack of pain. :)
