@vklittle61 please see my posts in pudendal nerve entrapment thread of this website. I had the same symptoms (still have a little sitting pain- but only a little). You probably have Myofascial pain and tension compressing nerves. Also, my lower lumbar DDD drives this. I had several posts describing books and ways of getting rid of this tension search for my comments to @bkruppa. Short version, stretching, rolling on Rollga / various balls to get rid of trigger points and the other things I mentioned. Very deep inspiration while stretching and other things will help - one good book with a practical aim is “heal pelvic pain” by stein. Please see my other posts. There were several detailed posts with things to try. My pain got way better. It might take several month but it can get better. Also, this is described in the book “a headache in the pelvis”. Good luck.
@vklittle61 If you are not familiar with myofascial release work therapy, you may want to look into this as it can treat lots of problems that conventional medicine has failed to treat. I do this for thoracic outlet syndrome, and have a lot of information in another thread here, so look at this link with lots of information (and a video by John Barnes who invented this therapy.) MFR has helped me a lot and I have done this for 4 years and even treat myself this way at home. This is in the Neuropathy discussion, "Just Diagnosed"
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/just-diagnosed-2/?orderby=DESC#chv4-comment-stream-headerThere is something called levator ani syndrome that sounds like what you describe. It requires a very complex surgery and only a few surgeons do the surgery. A lady was talking about her surgery on facebook several years ago. She was from Knoxville, TN and I think she had to go to Boston to have the surgery.
Your best help is finding Pelvic Floor Therapist. There's no magic formulate. Been suffering with Chronic Pudendal Nerve Neuralgia or Entrapment for almost 4 mo. Just MAYBE U have something similar. With Pelvic Floor Therapist 2x a week, a few thinks are some better.
