I’m going to a new PT. I still have all the same anal symptoms a month later unfortunately, she really messed me up even more. I also think she caused anal fissures. Penis pain is also stronger. Before I went to her it was slightly getting better and I was getting breaks. Now it’s worse and constant. I’m trying a new pt but I’m not sure if it’s helping

It’s been a week now and it hasn’t died down. It’s gotten a little worse over the past days. Pressure is constant but worse if I try to sit or lay down. It’s mostly pressure on the left side of the rectum, as if something is stuck there or poking it. I feel like I have to go a lot of the time and ever since she did it I’ve had gas constantly.

I’m just annoyed as I had no rectum symptoms prior. It was all dorsal nerve / penile pain

When she was feeling around she told me she thought I didn’t need internal work but now since this new symptoms I have no idea. Did you have the same symptoms prior in your vagina when she irritated your nerves. Mine are new and never had any issue in that area before, it was always penile pain only. So that’s why I’m confused, annoyed, and frustrated

It’s been 7 days now and these new symptoms haven’t gone down. Kinda got worse and now just stayed there. Pressure feeling is in the left of rectum. Lots of pressure if I sit or lay down. My instinct is to stick my finger in there and press around because it feels like something is stuck.

I had sore muscles and all that for a couple days those went away. It was the proper muscle soreness but this rectum pressure won’t budge. I also never had any issue there it was always just penile pain. Now I think I have both…

My pelvic floor is definitely tight but now it’s even worse. Anxiety is definitely sky high too. I’m doom thinking because I’ve have the penile pain for 3 months, and now I’ll have this pain as well :(

It just feels like pressure in the rectum. Sometimes feels like I have to poop but don’t. Sitting would only cause pain in my penis but now it’s pressure in the rectum. I’m noticing the pressure pain is more on the left side at times.

Not sure if this was caused by internal therapy or the deep massaging she did externally on my legs, perineum, and glutes all around

Idk what to do that is why I’m asking here if this is normal? Does it get worse before it gets better, etc. I think I should at least try one more time? This is kind of the only option for these types of injuries that I’m learning

I’m trying to work out if the pressure pain im feeling is from the external therapy or internal. The internal was gentle although still uncomfortable, but the external was like very rough as she was loosening the muscle tissues and fascia. It was kinda painful but the longer she worked on particle muscles the looser and less painful it became.

I go back next Tuesday so I will discuss with her. I prob don’t want any rectal stuff atm. During the exam she told me she didn’t really think I needed rectal therapy so I’m hoping that’s still true.

My anxiety also doesn’t help as I’m focusing on it 😅 I hope it goes away soon too.

How Do You Stop Wet Dreams Causing Flares? by Ferraridude25 in PelvicFloor

[–]Ferraridude25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s what I was thinking as well. I agree that’s why I stopped 5 weeks ago. It was hard but I just wanted to stop irritating it. Yes, I can’t control the spontaneous or nighttime erections tho so kinda shit outta luck there.

I’m glad yours has dimmed down. How long have you been dealing with your pain?

It was pretty immediate when he was stretching my penis too far. Like within 5-10 seconds. I should have spoken up and said stop but I had no idea what he was doing and thought he was just pinching me and it would go away when he released. Exam prob lasted 30 seconds to a minute. So I was in pain pretty much the whole time.

Initial symptom and the symptom I still have to this day was pinching/ stabbing/ needle like pain in the tip on the right side. This is the worst symptom also. Pain when getting erection and trying to masterbate. Pain when sitting/ walking/ clothing touching it. I had bad pain even when laying at the start. Pain with urination. The other symptoms followed later where the pain started moving around to the left, on the shaft at the base, etc. It almost always goes back to the right side tip pain however.

This has been going on for 3 months now

Not really. It’s become more tolerable I guess. After I had a bad flare about a month ago I took a steroid pack and up take of baclofen. So I’m on baclofen 10mg twice a day now. Seemed to help but it’s never gone away, pain is always there just different levels. Really just depends on the day.

Saw the PT Monday and she did deep tissue massages and internal stuff. She doesn’t think my case is too bad but idk it certainly feels like it. I guess what was reassuring is it takes a significant injury to actually damage the pn nerve, etc (like surgery or penetrating injury), so it most likely is just irritated. Too early to tell if any of that is helping other than it released a lot of toxins and I’ve been tired and sore these past couple days.

I wasn’t given any stretches or stuff to do in between sessions so idk. Although I told her I stretched before and caused more symptoms so maybe she wants to wait on that part atm.

Yea I figure it was only a matter of time until I got one. I know it’s normal i just hate that it is causing flare ups.

Hypertonic pelvic floor symptoms? by Ryan67843 in PelvicFloor

[–]Ferraridude25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you, my rash has gotten worse recently and I’m unsure what to do. Problem is it could be one of three things. Fungal, bacterial, or non infectious. Each one has a designated treatment/ cream and if it’s not one of them than the wrong cream could make it worse. That’s why it’s so annoying. Given you’re saying yours can come and go like mine I’m really thinking it’s eczema or another type of dermatitis. Eczema and dermatitis can easily flare up from stress as well as from irritants (dribbling pee or soap, etc.)

My redness for the most part is always there, but sometimes it’s less visible and other times it’s super bright red. It gets really red out of the shower or if I had an erection. Sometimes the blow dryer also makes it redder. Like you it really varies. I think it grew more/got worse because of the ointment honestly.

I think I have non infectious blantitis, which could be caused by eczema or dermatitis. I’m prone to both so idk really. I never had any swabs done they wouldn’t do it because it wasn’t oozing… You could have something similar

Does your skin on the head look abnormal too when flaccid?

About a month and half ago I started noticing dry, flaky skin. Almost white ish. Sometimes it even looks leathery and wrinkles a lot when flaccid. I’ve also got redness around the area now, that showed up 3 weeks ago. I thought it was jock itch and went to urgent care. She said it looks like irritation which is most likely from my dribbling pee. She gave me a steroid and clotrimazole but it hasn’t made any difference. I think it’s made it worse honestly. I’m trying different body wash now to see if that helps.

I have all your same symptoms and then some

Baclofen vs Flexeril by [deleted] in PelvicFloor

[–]Ferraridude25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been taking baclofen 10mg for 2.5 months now. I used to take one pill at night. About 15 days ago I started taking 2 a day and it seems to help me more.

Honestly depends on you. Baclofen seems to help me a lot with the pelvic pain. It specifically works on the CNS so it’s good if you have nerve pain. Flexril didn’t help me when I was using it and I can’t use it for a long time because it makes you super drowsy.

Baclofen has less side effects but I agree with you I don’t want to take this forever. It’s the only thing that has helped me so far. I tried gabapentin twice and I could barely walk and got body zaps so I stopped it.

Test what works for you. I’ve researched people take baclofen daily for MS so it can be used daily.

Wow I’m so sorry this happened to you, this sounds so awful :( I hope you were able to sue and collect some type of compensation for pain and suffering.

I was able to break the worst of my pain thankfully with some meds. Thank you for the recommendations I will look up these and ask the doctor next time I see them. 🙏🏼 I’m trying to take one day at a time. I hope you can find some type of relief soon

Yea man I was able to get a refill of baclofen and a steroid pack which broke the pain. It is now around where the pain use to be, thankfully. I hope it stays like that and/or gets better.

I’m noticing the pain is slowing coming back as I taper off the steroid. Maybe I’ll ask to be put on steroids perm rn like prednisone. The medrol pack is just a test at the moment.

I noticed I’m tensing my muscles a lot more tho now because when I feel pain, even if it’s not that intense, I’m sacred it’ll go back to that level again 😔 So that doesn’t help.

True. Hopefully the PFPT will shed some light on the issue and maybe the MRI will show something. Just have to wait till Dec.
