I am so sick of this crap!
Well, I was feeling great for a few days, then wham! My perineum (sp?) is hurting like mad right next to my anus. I have never hurt here before. Why does this stuff move around?? Feels like major hemmies or something.
Hot baths, relaxation, etc. but no relief. And the worst part, it "refers" or radiates pain down my legs. I feel like junk all over.
Sorry to just whine, but man!
Blah! Moving pain?!

That spot can be reached with a Theracane very easily. It has always been one of my most painful spots. Also, squat stretches help there as well.

In my 20 months of enjoying this wonderful crap, my symptoms have moved about every 3 months. The move of the symptoms usually signifies a beginning of a flare for me. And they generally last anywhere from 3-14 days before things settle back down. A few weeks ago my problems moved to the back of my thighs along with the perineum.
Age: 45 Onset: 43. | Symptoms: Tightness, spasms, burning and pain in the perineum. Occassional mild pain after urination in the perineum. Helped by: Cardura, quitting caffiene, relaxation, fiber, stand up workstation and some PT a year ago. Makes Worse: ANXIETY, ULTRAM, going to work, sitting or squatting too long, constipation (big problems), stress, and sometimes unexplainable.

The pain does move around. It is weird, I agree.
Try to see if you can't actually relax your rectum, in addition to the theracance massage suggested above. Just put your hand on your anus (yeah, I know) and then see if you can get it to relax a bit. Try to hold that for 15 minutes, and make sure to let your pelvic floor drop at the same time.

* 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.

I think pain that is "moving around" really indicates that you have trigger points chronically spread across the entire pelvic floor. Individual trigger point areas go through their own waxing and waning cycle, so while some are up, others are down. You definitely have to treat your entire pelvic floor and not focus on one spot, lest the condition "spread" to somewhere else.
