Does anyone else suffer from chronic pelvic pain?

Pelvic pain is miserable! I’m being treated by a pelvic therapist ( I always thought was only for women) after a failed back surgery and prostatitis my urologist referred me. I never knew there was so many nerves . My pelvic is extremely tight causing nerve pains in both legs , groin/testicles, anus . It’s not the greatest therapy but if it helps it helps. As @gkissick said moving over in bed is hard, I have to roll out of bed.

@dudashen did they recommend surgery to address the pelvic organ prolapse (lift up organs that may be pressing on organs/nerves causing pain? Did you have children which may have moved things around in your pelvis?

No they didn’t recommend surgery for my prolapse and I’ve never had children.

I had colorectal surgery, which over time led to severe pelvic floor pain. My Physical Therapist is using an apparatus referred to as Softwave TRT. After 3 sessions, along with routine exercise, I experience both mental and physical improvement.

Oh yes, but mine was from endometriosis and was cured way back in 1985 when I had a total abdominal hysterectomy. I had started suffering in 1969. It hurt me 1/2 of my monthly cycle every month & made me miserable but you are probably not talking about that type of pain.

@sunny65 I do - but I don’t think my pelvic pain is connected with anal fissure. I have been prescribed Nifedipine 0.2% ointment compound but so far after a week I still have the fissure.

My pelvic pain is over my bladder, but I do not have any bladder infection/UTI. The pain feels like it did when I used to get my periods (I’m menopausal now - will be 78 this year).

I have had abdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds showing nothing abnormal, and my colonoscopy showed three benign polyps which were removed.

My neurologist thinks that it is a nerve pain near my tailbone. I had injury when I was 14 years old. He prescribed me Lyrica. Let’s see if this works.
