One step forward, two steps back

[Xaciki]

Hi all,

I'm back here again after I thought I had rid this terrible disease.

To give you some background, in 2019 I began suffering from urinary urgency following an assault. This was investigated by a urologist who suggested that while he did not believe there was a problem, he was happy to perform a cystoscopy on my person, so as to rule out any structural abnormalities (such as a stricture) that could be causing my symptoms. This was performed in July 2020, and shortly thereafter my symptoms, which were at this point minor, intensified considerably.

For the next year I suffered with pain around my left side, as well as other issues (E.D.) which didn't want to subside. Eventually, in the summer of 2021 I decided to take some action and I began taking a variety of herbal supplements. Remarkably, the pain seemed to subside to the point that I began to get my old life back, and by the start of this year I considered myself 95 per cent better. Pelvic pain was no longer on my agenda, and I was focused on other things in my life.

Alas, it was not to be however, and on Friday the pain and other familiar symptoms returned after I had moved in a unusual way. I suspect that I had irritated a nerve, as the pain was initially sharp and stabbing in nature, before again subsiding into that familiar dull ache. I'm now back to square one, but I'm hopeful I can recover from this once again.

Ironically, I initially did not practice any stretching or P.T. at all as it didn't seem to help my condition (just make it worse). It was only after I began taking the herbal remedies that I seemed to improve.

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Many thanks
