Feeling Much better-->jogging!!

Post by Caretaker »

I thought I`d let you know the great progress since September.

First, you remember that I told you guys I initially bought the Harachair. This has been an excellent idea as gradually I was able to sit all day, without any pain in the pelvis (all day means like 8h+).

After "fixing" this problem, I still had this weird feeling at the end of my penis , especially after urinating and the golf ball sensation in the rectum. Eventually it would go away but sometimes it would not.

So I decided to start exercising each morning before starting my day. This would include simply 50 situps followed by squatting completely down (with my kneed fully bent) 30 times. Moreover, during the day, I would repeat this squatting exercise 3-4 times for a total of about 100 squats a day.

After about 2 weeks, the "golf ball in the butt" feeling totally disappeared and I was left only with this sensation at the tip of the penis after urinating.

About 2 months ago, I went to see this chiropractor which found that my pelvic bones were not aligned properly. He basically fixed this problem (I had trouble keeping my balance when standing on my left leg but not anymore) and told me that my pelvis muscles were loose. That surprised me because the common wisdom is that those muscles are supposedly too tight in CPPS. Anyway, he told me that to fix that, I should simply start jogging regularly. So I kept doing all those morning exercises I was doing plus I added a 10km run to my routine each morning and a half-marathon each Sunday morning.

I have been running like that now for a few weeks (I feel running like Forrest Gump!) and really the pain, the sensation in the penis, the urine flow, etc., everything is nearly perfect, at least to a point that is not bothering me at all and stop thinking about it.

I also restarted drinking coffee (which seemed to worsen my condition before) and it did not cause and flare ups. Note also that I never stop drinking alcohol during this period.

This will make you laugh (some may remember this too) but farting also just sound right! :-D (probably due to improvement of pelvic muscles condition).

So if you haven`t tried jogging yet, give it a try! I believe all problems can be fixed if you find a way to activate those pelvis muscles through exercising like jogging. Simply doing TP massage might not be enough imho.

Age: 37 | Onset Age: 37 | Symptoms: variable but include: frequency to urinate, discomfort in tip of penis (including occasional tingling), pelvic pain, pain in left inner leg/left testis, heat and sweat between legs | Helped By: Q-Urol or prosta-Q, taurine, hot bath, not sitting long hours, red wine (high in Quercetin I think, which reduces voiding a lot), stretching legs, pidgeon pause | Worsened By: sitting long hours, sitting in car .

Now I am cured!! Search for my posts on Harachair and squatting. I believe the symptoms are all caused by a misalignment of the pelvic bones that strains the muscles.

Good for you. There were post on how walking a lot helped too. I guess it's up to individual to find out what level of excerise works.

Great news, it's empowering to know that with work and experimentation, you can find what protocol works best. Keep it up ( no pun :wink: ) and keep us posted. :smile:

Age, 44 onset age 37 Feb 2006 Freq. need to urinate. Sensation of having to urinate soon after going. Perineum discomfort/burning/tightness, pubic area discomfort @ times,poor urine stream, post urine dripping/spray. All symptoms have improved with my protocol. At the worst I give it a 1 to 2 on irritation and discomfort and frequency. Helps: Elavil 5mg for anxiety and mast cell protection, (will only take it as needed) self internal PT as needed, stretching, walking, stairmaster cardio workout and light weights, reducing stress, moment to moment relaxation, deep breathing relaxation and using a Theracane. Makes worse: sitting for long periods, stress, over focusing on it. Currently 95%-98% recovered. Stay positive, relaxed and control your anxiety.

Caretaker,

That's really great news! I've been battling with this for a little over one year and I'm currently going through a flare up. I LOVE running and can't wait to get into your shape.

Where did you get that chair? I never heard of it.

Thanks,
Chris
