If it helps, I’ve dealt with the same kind of pelvic floor pain, along with many other symptoms that flared up depending on the situation. Like others have said, our hypervigilant brains make subconscious connections—deciding certain things cause symptoms—and then brining those symptoms to...

I think you’ve got a really good handle on what’s going on. Stress piles up from all directions and fills up a bucket over time and when that bucket overflows, here comes the symptoms. I feel like the biggest stressors in life are feeling like something’s wrong with you or worrying about the...

Had this. I can sympathize with what you are going through. My humble opinion is that stress or trauma causes these symptoms and now you are in more pain that causes more stress that keeps the cycle going. The first step is believing that there is nothing wrong with you and that this is all a...

It could be a lot of different things. Go get checked out, but yea this is a common TMS symptom.

@william999 100%. that's exactly what I felt.

Yes @JanAtheCPA , good insight. I wasn't really thinking about isolation and abandonment, mainly the fear and pain. I will definitely think about that more.

A bit of back story about me. I’m 51 and have been symptom free for a few years now. I do get flair ups from time to time but they usually subside quickly. I know what they and I don’t fear them.

Hi Sky, I feel your pain. Hang in there and take Jan's advice. It will get better. I have the exact same symptoms as you and I've notice a few others on here with the same as well. The only thing that is different with me is that my butt pain is 99% gone but it feels like my right lower ab is...

I have the same exact thing. Went to the Urologist, everything came back normal. Did pelvic floor PT, didn't really have any positive or negative impact. Thankfully the pain in my butt has subsided significantly but the bladder issue has increased. Feels like my lower abs are tight and squeezing...

Thanks for the support and references sslx4000 - I very much hope this is the beginning of the extinction burst but if not I'm prepared to go the distance.
