    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    Almost a year pain free now! @BloodMoon The allergies are gone too- it most definitely was not the rabbits. :-) @Clarity Of the very limited knowledge I have, I had read that pelvic congestion syndrome is another one of those things like herniated discs- many women have it show on an imaging...

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    I didn't get cured and then left the forum. I got cured because I left the forum. :) I look at it like this- it's not pelvic pain, it's TMS. For whatever reason, we have brains capable of generating physical symptoms and will likely be a long struggle. I'm in my mid-30's and looking back, I've...

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    Someone had written a nice response to me earlier but now it’s gone. Strange.

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    Oh trust me, I know that all too well. I had the exact same problem. Just remember that things can change rapidly in life, especially with health. I know someone with cancer who was given a very grim prognosis but is now in remission. There are stories all over the place (not just on this forum)...

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    Yeah I'm the same way- I feel if anything, I'm too emotional. In the early days when I first got into this I did exactly what Sarno said- journaling, etc. and it did absolutely nothing. Then I started reading Lorimer Moseley, Dr Clauw, etc. who talk about Central Sensitization, where the brain...

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    It took me about three years, though I did a lot of stuff wrong. You can probably look through all my old posts and see the struggle. If you’ve ruled out all the serious stuff (infections, tumors, etc) then just forget about it and move on. Chronic pelvic pain treatments are full of half-baked...

    Pelvic Pain - Healed

    Hi everyone, I haven't posted or even read the forum in a long time but I just wanted to say I've been completely cured of Pudendal Neuralgia for almost a year now using the mindbody approach. It took a long time but this stuff really works!

    very informative central sensitization article

    Paul Ingraham is probably the best writer regarding chronic pain that I've seen- I've posted his articles on here before. His most famous article is probably this one: https://www.painscience.com/articles/structuralism.php (Your Back Is Not Out of Alignment) I love this article too- as a...

    Prostatitis / pelvic pain

    I actually agree with a lot of your post. My opinions on this aren't really the same as when I posted in this thread a year ago. Having spent three years on this just like you and still struggling, I've come to the conclusion that it's at least partially structural. They say to write an evidence...

    Pelvic pain, scared of the pain!

    There's actually not a whole lot of evidence for it either- there's only been one randomized, placebo-controlled trial for trigger point PT for CPPS. The funny part was both the placebo massage group and the PT group had good success rates, which suggests the placebo effect is very strong. The...

    Pelvic pain, scared of the pain!

    I'd stay off pudendal hope- I was in a panic for months after my initial injury when I read that site. There's almost no successes (other than TMS) and the few who claim pudendal surgery worked for them either aren't fully cured (still getting nerve blocks, etc.) or claim it didn't take effect...

    Alan G. Online presentation for chronic pelvic pain

    Yes, this was originally up on Youtube- I even posted the link on Pudendal Hope (where it got zero attention, of course). I don't know why it was taken down as it was a great video!

    OCD without the C

    Yes, I was diagnosed with "Pure O" OCD by a therapist- I had it really bad in 2013 but was able to overcome it through CBT. I had it really bad as child too but it was never properly diagnosed. What the OP is posting doesn't sound like OCD though- more like perfectionist personality traits...

    Tests to Rule out the Physical?

    I had acid reflux bad from late 2007 to spring 2009 that just came out of nowhere after a stressful period and never stopped. Nothing would even touch the pain except Prilosec. I was scared of having an endoscopy too but eventually had it done. It is a painless and easy test (and this is coming...

    A painkiller found to be no better than a placebo for sciatica

    This is why I always say that stuff needs to be tested in randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled studies. So many of the treatments for chronic pain are lacking in this type of research. Anecdotally, I've never seen anyone helped much with chronic pain from Lyrica. Although I have to...
