Thanks for all the info. I have been to my first PT and to a doc specializing in pelvic pain. I’m in a very similar place to you. Many things that we do (how we walk, how we sit, etc) cause our muscles and skeletal system to compensate. Then we do something that just puts it over the edge - in my case cycling too hard. I was also in a high stress environment around the beginning of covid, so I’m sure that had something to do with this as well. I found a website that I’d recommend: curecpps.com
He went through many of the same issues and came up with a good routine/mindset to battle through.
I think it is so unfortunate that the medical establishment is still lumping all of these cases into prostatitis when only 5% of us actually have an infection. From what I can gather, the sooner you seek therapy/treatment the better your chances. Already six months in, my brain has rewired my pelvic muscle process and it is a challenge to reverse - I can’t imagine digging out after many years of misdiagnoses.
I feel fortunate that so many people are on these forums and on the web sharing optimism and thoughts of how to be successful. Stay positive everyone! Let’s help each other through and keep creating more success stories!
