Oh my gosh!!! I was googling my symptoms and stumbled upon this video and it literally made my pain go away within 30 minutes!! Thank you Jesus!!!! And thank you for posting. It’s a miracle!!!! Thank you so much!!
@@vibrantpelvichealth mam I have burning pain in my private parts and the pain goes to my bone pelvic down to my legs and ankle..is this pudendal neuralgia?
I have been trying to heal acute diverticulitis for almost 4 months. I have been to the ER 3 times, my primary Dr.,a gastroenterologist and just got home from being hospitalized for 11 days. Every medical person I spoke to I told them I had deep pain in my vagina, rectum and across my pelvis. No one addressed it except to give me opioids. I believe the strain from the constipation and gut inflammation has irritated my pelvic nerves. There is no Dr. in my area who treats this and getting pain medicine in Florida is next to impossible unless connected to a hospital stay and even that's tough. Thank you for posting. I did the stretching and it did bring hope and a bit of relief.❤❤❤
Pain medication will only cause more discomfort- causes constipation-💩 Exercise is the best. Stairs help me the most. Stepping on the ball of your feet. Strengthens the levator muscles & strengthens the supporting muscles.
For anyone suffering, hot baths seem to help. Or jacuzzi if you’re too large for bathtub. Diaphragmatic breathing and focusing on letting go help also. Getting pelvic PT and ALSO researching the mind and emotional affects on chronic pain help a ton also. Muscle relaxer at night time also.
Dr Bri be blessed for your videos but when I find this one I was crying because nobody knew how to help me, even my doctor I am going to continue with your classes and teach my girlfriends and family. You also fixed my sciatic nerve pain with your 5 most transformative exercises And other pelvic floor release relax You are the most amazing educator I love you and please stay with us because you brought me back to heal.
So glad I found you and this practice. I am post stage 4 colon cancer with multiple major abdominal surgeries including colostomy reversal, hysterectomy and recent pelvic floor prolapse. This PN diagnosis is new and even though I have been some pretty extreme healing journeys with this C, this pudendal neuralgia is crushing my soul. My workouts are so critical to me in my healing journey and this PN is horrible. Absolutely debilitating. Thank you.
Your resilience in navigating multiple major surgeries and now facing pudendal neuralgia is truly inspiring. 💜 I'm so sorry you're dealing with this debilitating condition, but please know that you're not alone and there is hope - gentle practices like these can be incredibly helpful in managing symptoms and reclaiming your quality of life. 🙏✨ Keep leaning on movement as medicine, honoring your body's needs, and celebrating every small victory along the way. 💪😊
I just want to share my experience: I sat on a surface that was too hard and worked on a laptop for maybe 2 weeks and ended up over straining the muscles where my back ends and my butt starts. I would describe my nerve pain a mix of piriformis and pudental neuralgia when it first started out exactly 1 year ago. When I did a specific stretch for piriformis syndrome it stopped causing big waves of nerve tingles in the genital region. But what remained were nerve tingles that caused the sensation of extreme itching. Naturally I went to the doctor because I figured I had some itching skin issue. It took a while to figure out my symptoms were nerve related. I tried all kinds of exercises, including those in the video but for me personally they made it worse. I've only figured out in these last 2 weeks that all i need to do to fix it, is roll those strained muscles over a tennis ball (i personally use a hockey ball because tennis balls are too soft to really massage those muscle adhesions. It's quite painful to roll over those areas with a hard ball while pushing yourself up with your arms, however, my symptoms are ALMOST fully gone, I can't believe it took me 1 year to really figure it out because doctors were useless, they don't know muscle adhesions like that can affect the nerve pathways leading to the pelvic floor. It even affected my bladder and it felt like I had to pee, almost like a bladder infection but still different. I'm so happy I found something to relieve the symptoms and the best thing for me really was massaging those muscles with a ball and going for walks, but the exercise with the hockey ball to losen up those muscles really did wonders. Hope this helps someone else! Edit Dec 20: I'm not fully healed yet but the symptoms have changed, it's either burning or tingling but less itching and tingling. I simply keep massaging the buttox area and all muscle tissue deep within. It helps to explore which muscles are affected, massage the parts that hurt. I'm also seeing a neurologist in January but it remains to be seen if they can help at all. I also bought an electric heat blanket which remove symptoms completely, as long as the area is warm. Hot baths also help but I have no bathtub. I will update if I have a new breakthrough.
Thank you x 1000!! I'm a 45 yo male in relatively good health. 5 months ago I was getting into a my new-to-me truck, which was a whole different way of entering a vehicle for me due to it being about a foot higher then my previous car, and during the first week or regular driving I entered it and felt a little zing where the seat edge scraped my inner-thing/groin area as i tried to slide into the seat from ground level.. too big of a stretch. No big deal at the time, but I repeated this mistake for a couple weeks not thinking much of it, telling my self each time I would figure out how to avoid it next time:/ and then it all started to go down hill and the abdominal cramping and scrotal pain and tenderness at the base of my left but cheek really kicked in. Anyways, the pain was so widespread and diffuse and my stomach was hurting and I was exhausted, and I started going to the doctors and the did all the labs and a sonogram and needless to say, 6 visits later they are still unsure. I have spent the last 2 weeks literally doing nothing but bed rest and non-movement as much as possible hoping this would just pass on it's own and eating nothing but vegetables and Gatorade to see if everything was possibly due to a new food intolerance or some kind of extreme dehydration issue. All of that has helped a lot of my pains subside, but I just felt fragile and still very much on the verge of relapsing to my previous pain and discomfort levels at the slightest wrong step or turn in bed. Tonight, in one of my long RUclips research rabbit holes, I came across a website with a virtual 3D model of a human male anatomy and it helped me pinpoint the actual names of the exact places that hurt, and it appears to be my left side pudendal nerve that is the hot spot, and was the exact location of my initial little zings from my new truck. I'm not endorsing the 3D model website other than it it really was amazingly helpful in identifying the parts that actually hurt!! It's called Zygote Body 3D.. regardless, my first google search of the nerves I pinpointed on that site led me to your video, so I did some of the stretches (very carefully) and none of them hurt me, and actually felt relieving. I'll continue to do them while I try to get in with a physical therapist to see if they can verify my self-diagnosis. Anyways, I'm not a dumb person but this whole injury has impacted my life more than any other injury I've ever sustained. It's emotionally exhausting to be in constant pain and in fear of a full relapse at any time, and my heart goes out to anybody in the world that suffers chronic pain, especially undiagnosed. Sorry for all the details but if there are any other dumb guys like me in the world who don't understand what nerve pain is, or which nerves are which and who have a truck.. then maybe this will help them out a bit and bring them to your channel for some great help!!
Hi, I’m a female in the same position. My pudendal nerve irritation came after I birth of my baby. I feel like getting in and out of my car (it’s oddly low and QUITE hard to get in and out of) too early postpartum may have fueled nerve problems. Hot baths help a ton. So does diaphragmatic breathing. I’m never going to give up this fight to get totally better. Hope you’re improving or all well.
@@alexjonson4473 Hello John, how long have you had it for may I ask? I'm in my 4th month now without any real improvement apart from taking Gabapentin. These have not only helped in what I can only describe as pain altering- but given me a sort of apathy towards it - a sort of acceptance of the situation I suppose.
@@SuperBC10 They make special seat cushions for pain like this. The website is: Cushionyourassets.com. I can give other websites later. You’ll sit easily with them.
@@LaceyV hi. Thanks. I have tried a couple of cushions without much success unfortunately. I need something very hard under my upper legs (😱)to keep the whole perineal area off the seat. Even underwear simply touching the skin causes a real overreacted response to it and I get dreadful pain just from this, it's ludicrous. Alodynia I think this is called? It's a real curse at the moment. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up one morning with no pain there. As time is going on, I'm getting to think this is it for the rest of my days (and nights). ☹ Never mind, it could always be worst. Thanks again, very glad to hear from you. ❤
I’ve had multiple back surgeries and I finally found information to help identify the muscles that have been guarding - the pelvic floor muscles. Thank you for this information. They are quite the pain generators. Pelvic floor muscles were never addressed by any of my medical practitioners. Many thanks and much love and light to not only you but all others in pain seeking relief 💜
I am glad you found the root cause of your pain. My Overcome program can help you find relief and gently strengthen your pelvic floor. I invite you to grab the first week for free bit.ly/overcomewomenfree
This is super helpful. I have been looking at a lot of sciatica exercises for my pudendal nerve pain because there aren't too many pudendal specific resources. Your sections about the drop and side to side movements after cobra pose are exactly what I need to tie me over from 70% to hopefully 100%. After doing the side to side swings I feel my lower abs being targeted and the whole hip bone structure being jostled in a good way - everything is loosen up. Thanks so much for the great tips.
@@vibrantpelvichealth Someone replied to this thread and my 8 months old comment showed up on my feed. Just a little update: my pudendal nerve pain is 100% gone. All I did were your exercises and Peter Dornan's exercises, as well as watching out for certain triggers that exacerbate the symptoms. I still have some sciatica that I feel on my leg occasionally, but that's just from the way I sit. I would just like to thank you again. You are a lifesaver.
Just wanted to say these simple exercises were life saving👍🎉After 10 days ,2-3 times a day the painful area began to fade . It works👍Now almost pain free, Thank you
'Vibrant' is certainly a perfect word for your work!! What a positive, grounded soul you are, & the exercises are effective. I appreciate the modifications provided. I am in the beginnings of this diagnosis (seemingly it is the dorsal region only of my nerves affected). It came upon suddenly several months after a successful gynecological surgery that I was doing well with. My doctor has no idea why it happened when I was progressing so well in every other way, including some vagus nerve issues I'd had that I worked hard at & had resolved. I also have no issues with pelvic floor hypetonicity, something else I had under control (I thought) after many years of working with it & learning relaxation techniques. So I'm confused, lost & discouraged. This burning has been absolutely excruciating but I'm desperately trying to avoid long term pharmaceuticals which of course is a go-to for doctors. I'm instead diving into nutrition, supplements, trauma therapy & physio/chiro for nerve healing. But I was hoping for some simple stretches to do in the worst of the pain while I struggle. I also have noticed that something in my gentle daily Qigong routine is irritating the condition but couldn't place it, now I know it was the few moves that involved some squatting. Thank you so much for this, truly. God bless you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story with me. I am happy to have you in my community and I am so proud of you for working on your challenges in such an informed and gentle way. Wishing you the best !!
Awesome! Thank you so very much. I am a pioneer woman West Point grad who was the 2nd woman to join the USMA intercollegiate cycling team. My case is very complicated. I've suffered from chronic pelvic pain for almost 40 years now. And I've had tremendous traumas in my life. I did NOT know of these nerve issues. I am very grateful to be learning about them and finding exercises. The pain has been so bad lately I've been limping. Many Thanks! I will be following you! ❤️🙏
I am so glad that you are here! I'm sorry that you have suffered for so many years. I hope that you can find relief! I have a lot of videos on my channel but I also have a pelvic pain healing program that you can find here: bit.ly/overcomepain
@@vibrantpelvichealth a holistic MD in Connecticut referred me to a physical therapist in Danbury, CT in the late 90s who had trained under President Kennedy's doctor. She was a pioneer in myofascial pain. Unfortunately I've been through much. More later. I need to get some tech issues resolved and then I am definitely purchasing this ptogram. I will tell my daughter about your work too. She is a professional dancer and yoga teacher. Thank you Very much for your great work and videos!!!❤️🙏🏼
You are so good on your approach. Very understanding and gentle. Almost 2 years with this but relaxation exercise, avoiding cycling and a standing job have made it into a bearable condition, needing a cushion every so often,
I am glad you are seeing improvement. Check this playlist. It has many tension release videos bit.ly/femtension I also recommend checking a pelvic floor PT for one-on-one support. If you would like at-home support, you can check my Overcome program.
This and your other videos have helped me so much. I thought I had pudendal neuralgia but I no longer feel the symptoms. I do have pelvic organ prolapse’s and continue to use your videos stretching and information. Thank you so much
Where would I find the lift programme please had pudendal neuropathy for 10 years but have a bowel prolapse pain is worse as feel like stools sit on the pain (sorry tmi 😊)

This was fantastic!! The 19 minutes flew by. I’ve been having undiagnosed chronic pain that I recently concluded must be PN for 4 years. This exercise completely calmed down one of my flare ups this evening. So much so that I felt laughter and almost tears. As a male, it’s also very encouraging to understand that such conditions relating to the pelvic floor should not be overlooked. I will certainly be taking up your advice and will do this routine day and night. Thank you so much. An actual god send 🙏🏽
I am so glad this helped! I have a playlist for men that you might find more videos to help! bit.ly/menshealthvids I also have a pelvic pain course for men. You can try it out here: bit.ly/7daypainrelief
same here man. i started feeling symptoms of it when i was 14 and i just couldn’t figure out what’s it was. i went to urologist after urologist after urologist and they couldn’t give me a direct answer. i started doing pelvic floor exercises recently and i have deduced it to PN. i’m 17 now and i’m having less and less pain as the days go on!
Some pelvic floor physical therapy has made my condition worse-especially reverse kegels. Are these stretches more for weak pelvic muscles, or actual damaged/impinged pudendal nerves?
Invaluable advice for free. Extremely grateful. These exercises help even for general stress relieve. Has helped to ease tension in my pvic area and learned to breathe socould have a proper gynecologic examination. Yeey! Pat on the shoulder to myself and huge thanks to dr. Bri!💗
Having this problem from last 6 months, tried first excercise and felt ease in pain immidiately. Hopefully it will heal with these continuous excercises. Thankyou mam
Thank you so much for this video, I have been searching everything to make me feel better of what I'm feeling and this seem to be an answer and I'm praying that this will make me to be totally healed.🙏🙏🙏
Thanks I hope this helps me cuz the pain is level 10 and it's horrible when I stand it bounces back to normal almost. Unfortunately we can't stand for 24 hrs.
You described in detail my life right now. I'm 58 yrs old I'm for the first time looking for a job where I stand up. Sitting is unbearable and oftentimes lying flat on my back with legs extended out flat. It's been a constant struggle for a solid year. I'm going to try these exercises and pray I get results. I think she is an amazing therapist!
The only thing that helped me was topiccal gel with Etofenamatum. I couldt sit for a whole year and week into this treatment i am riding bicycle. I advise you try this.
Wish I'd found this sooner. I am going to try them - just a quick attempt gave me hope it may work. I don't believe in Yoga and essential oils, but the straight descriptions are helpful.

Thanks Dr. Bri I really appreciate your videos, between you and Michael's videos I'm feeling so much better these days. You guys have really had a huge impact on my healing.
I'm having pelvic area discomfort and I have consulted with several doctors and they found nothing in the medical tests. Possibly I'm suffering from this problem. I'm gonna try these exercises
I hope it helps!! I have a whole bunch of videos for pelvic pain here on RUclips to try: bit.ly/pelvicpainplaylist I also have a special program that I created to help with pelvic pain: www.overcomepelvicpain.com
My Dr. Told me to get Intimate Rose pelvic wand. W/ vibration. It helps with this condition. I have ordered. Amazon. And there are videos on youtube ..how too. Just some info i got from one of my Dr.s
Thank you so much for making this video. Your information is so helpful! I feel really confident that I have pudendal neuralgia. Basically every symptoms fits perfectly, based on your video and my research. I gave birth 10 weeks ago and have been dealing with the pain since. I’ve seen several doctors and finally got a referral to the pelvic floor PT. At that point, I hadn’t heard of this condition. The PT checked my pelvic floor muscles and said everything was functioning fine. She didn’t check anything else, and didn’t have me move in any way or try any stretches. She basically said PT couldn’t help me, and I felt so discouraged. Do you think I should get a second opinion? The pain hasn’t gotten better and it is really taking a toll on my quality of life. Thanks in advance for any help!
It’s so important to know the root cause of your symptoms. Now that you have that knowledge, you are better equipped to move forward in your healing journey. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a local pelvic PT (if possible) for extra support. Typically, stretches and relaxation techniques help relax the muscles that surround the pudendal nerve, thereby releasing impingement and easing pressure that can irritate the pudendal nerve. My Overcome program can help with managing symptoms. bit.ly/overcomewomenfree Everyone is different, and you can talk to your doctor about what's best for your particular needs!
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you Dr. Bri for the explanation. I’ve been doing wrong ab and booty exercise for couple years that might directly coast this problem. And I had jaw dislocation for I don’t know how many years. Both are recovering from the last year. I had MRI scan couple days ago so hopefully I can talk to doctor soon about pelvic specialist. Can I do any of your pelvic floor strengthening exercise?
Hopefully these works. I wake up everyday fine, then by the end of the day I'm crying and can't sleep. Laying down hurts, standing hurts, using the loo just about kills me.
I am so sorry!! Please see your doctor or physical therapist for help! I also have a pelvic pain course that can help you too! www.overcomepelvicpain.com
@@iflyrcmike they definitely provided relief until I was able to get set up with a Chiropractor. I'm currently going to the Chiropractor twice a week, stretching everyday, and things are somewhat okay. Constant dull burn, but nothing like it was. On longer days it gets quite miserable almost as bad as it was. However the stretches DEFINITELY gave some relief. At first it increased the pain, so I talked with my mother who is a PT to make sure I was doing them right and not messing anything up. After a few days of stretching the pain became less

Thanks for the Great Video! I love these stretches. I just began seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist. Was told to avoid doing crunches and like you said cycling. What exercises are still ok to build leg strength (thighs, hams, even butt)?

Hi, I've just found this, and started giving it a go. How often would you recommend doing this, I'd be happy to do it as frequently as is healthy, thanks!
Thank you so much for your video. With pudendal nerve pain can someone also experienced lumbar pain and tail bone pain? Anyone else here that has experienced pain in those areas?
I was in a severe car accident last March and broke 7 ribs shattered the posterior right side of my pelvis and right hip as well as the left side of my pelvis fracturing as well. The past few months I have SERVERE PAIN down there. I tell my husband it's in my butt but it's not the whole or bowel movements but it's something in my buttocks and EVERYTHING is painful. Going #2, missionary intercourse, I have to pee urgently at the most random times and I'm only 33, when I walk up the stairs I feel like there's resistance lifting my legs, and I get stabbing pain when sitting or standing too long and my thighs go numb if I sit on a hard toilet longer than 5 mins. Does is sound like I have this? I have an appointment with my orthopedic DR. In a week but I'm thinking I should go to a specialist. How is this diagnosed by description or proof? Thanks in advance!
Hello, i have mayor pudendal nerve pain all day long and are wondering how often should i do that kind of release exercises? multiple times a day? Thanks
Hey Philip, donut cushions or hemorrhoid cushions, they have other names. They offer a great deal of relief. Of course, since you are driving long-distance, it's tough, but this is a way to manage it.
Does it also include bladder pain and dysfunction, anyone know? I've heard very conflicting info on that subject. I have that along with classic pain that goes with pudendal neuralgia, but I also have the constant urge to pee even when I don't need to and pain when I do. Any help/info would be great!!
Yes it can absolutely mimic symptoms of a UTI! ie. Pressure on the bladder, abnormally frequent urge to pee, pain with peeing, etc. The pudendal nerve branches to the urethra and that sensation can reach the bladder area too.
A simple UTI pee test should definitely be done during a pain flare, though! To rule out a UTI and to make sure you’re not leaving an infection untreated!
I experience an electric shock sensation behind my knees when I make random movements. I have had an MRI done, and the doctor informed me that my spine is fine. Could this be related to pudendal neuralgia
We also recommend talking to a pelvic health specialist for a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis of your specific symptoms. Keep advocating for yourself and seeking answers! ~Vibrant Support
I have a testicular pain ,, for more than 1 years,,, i consult urologist but they found nothing in test, so they give me scrotal support ,, but but my pain not reduced ,, so can I try this exercises,, please reply me??????? And suggest me what can I do
I am glad your tests came back negative. I encourage you to seek the one-on-one support of a pelvic floor PT. In the meantime, you can work on relaxing your muscles and doing gentle stretches. This playlist can help bit.ly/femtension I hope you feel better !
PELVIC PAIN along with urine frequency. can be sorted with this? Pelvic pain increases more when sitting on hard surface for long,,controlling the pee pressure..
walk bear foot or put your feet in soil for atleast 30 min every day it will bring muscel coordination and realign pelvic floor , also will heal root chakra which controls pelvic area
Hi Dr. Love these. Like I says I do have Pudenal Nerve Pain But my pain is only at the tip. Ps really hurts when laying down to go bed at night. About 2 hours after And. No pain when sitting when am driving my Tractor Trailer tk a day. Really. Going to try these and keep them close to me for. Reference. 😀. Thank you again.
Everyone is different, and you can talk to your doctor about what's best for your particular needs! I encourage you to sit up straight (in other words, don't slouch and tuck your bum under), and/or stand up more often to take pressure off the pudendal nerve. Moving regularly throughout the day is key rather than getting "stuck" in one position! You can combine your movement breaks with "pelvic drop" breaks. My Overcome program can also help and provide gentle strengtehing exercises. bit.ly/overcomewomenfree
I have read in several articles that squats should perhaps be avoided with this condition. Which leg exercises are safe? Are lunges safe? Or would that just be considered a unilateral squat? I did lunges a few days ago, when I was doing them everything felt okay and immediately afterwards as well, but I've had a lot of upper leg pain and inner thigh pain high up for three days now since the day I did them, and more neuropathic symptoms in the pelvis. Not sure if it's linked though.
Pudendal neuralgia, just like any pelvic condition, is difficult because everyone will respond **differently** to exercises based on the severity of their condition and their exercise performance (relative to their current needs). For example, some people with pudendal neuralgia do really well with a few mini air squats or unweighted lunges that aren't too deep. However, this might evoke a symptom flare in other people with PN. Perhaps you did a few too many lunges for where you are (right now)... It would be ideal to contact a pelvic floor physical therapist in your local area if you have access to one! And for now, you might want to focus more on stretches, relaxation exercises/techniques, position changes as often as possible, and walking rather than squats and lunges.
@@vibrantpelvichealth I did super deep lunges. This pain is new for me. It started about a month and a half ago, so I first didn't know some exercises weren't good when having this. I'll shy away from them for the time being and focus more on restorative movement. I'm in Colombia, it will be difficult to find a good therapist here, but I'll see if I can find people who can help me.
Randomly started to get this pain yesterday. I was doing wimhoff and breathwork so I was wondering if this was the cause of it... I have been sitting on my chair for hours for months now. I have frequent bowel movement now?
Thank you so much for wonderful explanation about pudendal neuralgia,,,I just came from doctor and searching about my pains cuz my doctor just say this can’t be cure,, in very hopeless situation I start searching about my pains even I don’t know what to call these pains,,, and suddenly ur videos comes on the screen ,,, trust me I just do these exercises for three times now and I got sooooo much relief,,, god bless u dear for giving me hope ,,♥️
Is better try to walk every day with no effort, than stay put?, Just laying down? I have this condition for many years. I get cornered. Do you think it's better to keep moving, taking short walks every day?
Hi, just watching this with interest. The section where you press gently with fingers is not do-able if your pain is mainly rectal pain.... any suggestions please? thanks xx
In the baby cobra exercise, you primarily use the muscles of your lower back, specifically the erector spinae muscles, to lift your chest off the ground. Your arms provide support, but they're not the primary movers in this exercise. Engaging your core muscles can help stabilize your spine and support the movement, but they're not the main muscles responsible for lifting. Focus on gently contracting your lower back muscles to lift your chest while keeping your core engaged and avoiding excessive strain on your arms. ~Vibrant Support
Hi Jasmin. I had a baby 1 yr ago and I’m in pain a lot still. I hope you have a pelvic floor therapist who can help you. Let me know if you’d like to chat via email. I have not known anyone else who got this from giving birth. I had quick, easy delivery, my baby was not large. It’s unfortunate.

A pelvic floor physical therapist uses a combination of detailed history-taking, physical examination, and specific tests to differentiate between conditions like pudendal neuralgia, levator ani syndrome, and hemorrhoids. Their specialized training allows them to distinguish between similar-feeling issues for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. ~ Vibrant Support
Yes, pudendal nerve irritation can cause numbness in affected areas, not just pain - it's best to discuss these symptoms with your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. ~ Vibrant Support
I started having pain in my perenium after having nerve blockers for groin pain. I'm not sure if it's pudendal neuralgia or not. Has anyone had a similar experience? A lot of the pelvic floor relaxation exercises I've tried since the nerve blockers have not helped.

Currently diagnosing myself with this condition. I seem to have settled my spondylolisthesis and what remains is PN. Now I have to convince my Doctor, Gynecologist and Neurosurgeon this exists in my body. Then my long term disability can continue until I am competently able to resume my work duties. No one I have ever met has had this condition. Great video and posts. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sherry I also have sponylolisthesis and self diagnosed PN and im miserable! I have seen a muscular skeletal consultant and a neurosurgeon. Neither will take the PN seriously!
Mine burns really bad. Sooo bad! I have been diagnosed with neuropathy of the pelvic floor. But now am aware of Pederna nerve entrapment. Do you think these exercises will help? I was diagnosed in 2011 with neuropathy after hip replacement. It was tolerated in the beginning, but now I am on fire. I am having trouble finding the right Dr to help. But continue to look. Do you have any ideas for someone like me? I am also disabled from car accident. I have done some form of these exercises, but it seems to get worse. I will try your suggestions. Any advice would be helpful.
@Jéssica Ferrari I lost the video. The exercises never seem to work. My pain Dr thinks a spinal stimulater might help. I also have a 45 degree curve in my spine. A lot to deal with. I do try the exercises occasionally, but it burns worse, so I stop. This is the first message I have received from this site in quite a while.
This workout is **pelvic floor aware** meaning that specific cues are given for breathing and technique. This keeps the workout "pelvic floor friendly" for people with all sorts of pelvic floor issues. That being said, I can't guarantee that it will be appropriate for your needs. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and will tolerate exercises differently. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs.

Oh my gosh!!! I was googling my symptoms and stumbled upon this video and it literally made my pain go away within 30 minutes!! Thank you Jesus!!!! And thank you for posting. It’s a miracle!!!! Thank you so much!!
What all did you exactly do to make the pain go away ?
worked for me too! took about a day or so but I'm feeling much better and going to continue these excercises. They feel a bit silly but they work!
It worked for your pedundal neuralgia?
Did you have had constant pain ?
How long have you had these PN symptoms? You mean you just did these stretches & its helped your pain quickly ?
I hope everyone in this comment section can someday get the relief they are seeking and needing so badly! Don't give up the fight!
So nice of you! Thank you, Greg!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
@@vibrantpelvichealth mam I have burning pain in my private parts and the pain goes to my bone pelvic down to my legs and ankle..is this pudendal neuralgia?
I have been trying to heal acute diverticulitis for almost 4 months. I have been to the ER 3 times, my primary Dr.,a gastroenterologist and just got home from being hospitalized for 11 days. Every medical person I spoke to I told them I had deep pain in my vagina, rectum and across my pelvis. No one addressed it except to give me opioids. I believe the strain from the constipation and gut inflammation has irritated my pelvic nerves.
There is no Dr. in my area who treats this and getting pain medicine in Florida is next to impossible unless connected to a hospital stay and even that's tough. Thank you for posting. I did the stretching and it did bring hope and a bit of relief.❤❤❤
Been in agony for weeks. First exercise relieved the pain unlike the painkillers I've been on. Thank you so much.
So great to hear! If you want more ways to relieve pelvic pain, I have a specialized course! Check it out here: www.overcomepelvicpain.com
War medication are you on
Pain medication will only cause more discomfort- causes constipation-💩
Exercise is the best.
Stairs help me the most. Stepping on the ball of your feet. Strengthens the levator muscles & strengthens the supporting muscles.
You have pudendal neuralgia and it helped you?
@@vibrantpelvichealth does the pain down to legs and feet?
For anyone suffering, hot baths seem to help. Or jacuzzi if you’re too large for bathtub. Diaphragmatic breathing and focusing on letting go help also. Getting pelvic PT and ALSO researching the mind and emotional affects on chronic pain help a ton also. Muscle relaxer at night time also.
Yes!! Thank you for sharing these tips!
@@vibrantpelvichealth iooi
Please I want talk with you 😭😭😭
Dr Bri be blessed for your videos but when I find this one I was crying because nobody knew how to help me, even my doctor
I am going to continue with your classes and teach my girlfriends and family. You also fixed my sciatic nerve pain with your 5 most transformative exercises
And other pelvic floor release relax
You are the most amazing educator
I love you and please stay with us because you brought me back to heal.
So glad I found you and this practice. I am post stage 4 colon cancer with multiple major abdominal surgeries including colostomy reversal, hysterectomy and recent pelvic floor prolapse. This PN diagnosis is new and even though I have been some pretty extreme healing journeys with this C, this pudendal neuralgia is crushing my soul. My workouts are so critical to me in my healing journey and this PN is horrible. Absolutely debilitating. Thank you.
I'm so sorry to read this, Nikki. You must be incredibly strong. I hope you find relief!!
Your resilience in navigating multiple major surgeries and now facing pudendal neuralgia is truly inspiring. 💜 I'm so sorry you're dealing with this debilitating condition, but please know that you're not alone and there is hope - gentle practices like these can be incredibly helpful in managing symptoms and reclaiming your quality of life. 🙏✨ Keep leaning on movement as medicine, honoring your body's needs, and celebrating every small victory along the way. 💪😊
I just want to share my experience: I sat on a surface that was too hard and worked on a laptop for maybe 2 weeks and ended up over straining the muscles where my back ends and my butt starts. I would describe my nerve pain a mix of piriformis and pudental neuralgia when it first started out exactly 1 year ago. When I did a specific stretch for piriformis syndrome it stopped causing big waves of nerve tingles in the genital region. But what remained were nerve tingles that caused the sensation of extreme itching. Naturally I went to the doctor because I figured I had some itching skin issue. It took a while to figure out my symptoms were nerve related. I tried all kinds of exercises, including those in the video but for me personally they made it worse. I've only figured out in these last 2 weeks that all i need to do to fix it, is roll those strained muscles over a tennis ball (i personally use a hockey ball because tennis balls are too soft to really massage those muscle adhesions. It's quite painful to roll over those areas with a hard ball while pushing yourself up with your arms, however, my symptoms are ALMOST fully gone, I can't believe it took me 1 year to really figure it out because doctors were useless, they don't know muscle adhesions like that can affect the nerve pathways leading to the pelvic floor. It even affected my bladder and it felt like I had to pee, almost like a bladder infection but still different. I'm so happy I found something to relieve the symptoms and the best thing for me really was massaging those muscles with a ball and going for walks, but the exercise with the hockey ball to losen up those muscles really did wonders. Hope this helps someone else!
Edit Dec 20: I'm not fully healed yet but the symptoms have changed, it's either burning or tingling but less itching and tingling. I simply keep massaging the buttox area and all muscle tissue deep within. It helps to explore which muscles are affected, massage the parts that hurt. I'm also seeing a neurologist in January but it remains to be seen if they can help at all. I also bought an electric heat blanket which remove symptoms completely, as long as the area is warm. Hot baths also help but I have no bathtub. I will update if I have a new breakthrough.
Thank you for sharing ! So glad you found relief!
Hi brother. did you fully heal? Can you share another experiences?
It won't work
Is this really work ?
How were you?
This lady is so kind to upload such videos....
Yes it's all to do with kindness, nothing to do with self promotion and money
@@erdemir5641 Pointlessly cynical. RUclips doesn’t pay much.
Thank you x 1000!! I'm a 45 yo male in relatively good health. 5 months ago I was getting into a my new-to-me truck, which was a whole different way of entering a vehicle for me due to it being about a foot higher then my previous car, and during the first week or regular driving I entered it and felt a little zing where the seat edge scraped my inner-thing/groin area as i tried to slide into the seat from ground level.. too big of a stretch. No big deal at the time, but I repeated this mistake for a couple weeks not thinking much of it, telling my self each time I would figure out how to avoid it next time:/ and then it all started to go down hill and the abdominal cramping and scrotal pain and tenderness at the base of my left but cheek really kicked in. Anyways, the pain was so widespread and diffuse and my stomach was hurting and I was exhausted, and I started going to the doctors and the did all the labs and a sonogram and needless to say, 6 visits later they are still unsure. I have spent the last 2 weeks literally doing nothing but bed rest and non-movement as much as possible hoping this would just pass on it's own and eating nothing but vegetables and Gatorade to see if everything was possibly due to a new food intolerance or some kind of extreme dehydration issue. All of that has helped a lot of my pains subside, but I just felt fragile and still very much on the verge of relapsing to my previous pain and discomfort levels at the slightest wrong step or turn in bed. Tonight, in one of my long RUclips research rabbit holes, I came across a website with a virtual 3D model of a human male anatomy and it helped me pinpoint the actual names of the exact places that hurt, and it appears to be my left side pudendal nerve that is the hot spot, and was the exact location of my initial little zings from my new truck. I'm not endorsing the 3D model website other than it it really was amazingly helpful in identifying the parts that actually hurt!! It's called Zygote Body 3D.. regardless, my first google search of the nerves I pinpointed on that site led me to your video, so I did some of the stretches (very carefully) and none of them hurt me, and actually felt relieving. I'll continue to do them while I try to get in with a physical therapist to see if they can verify my self-diagnosis. Anyways, I'm not a dumb person but this whole injury has impacted my life more than any other injury I've ever sustained. It's emotionally exhausting to be in constant pain and in fear of a full relapse at any time, and my heart goes out to anybody in the world that suffers chronic pain, especially undiagnosed. Sorry for all the details but if there are any other dumb guys like me in the world who don't understand what nerve pain is, or which nerves are which and who have a truck.. then maybe this will help them out a bit and bring them to your channel for some great help!!
Hi ariah, I just want to check if you are feeling better? I also suffer from this terrible pain, it is tough.
Hi, I’m a female in the same position. My pudendal nerve irritation came after I birth of my baby. I feel like getting in and out of my car (it’s oddly low and QUITE hard to get in and out of) too early postpartum may have fueled nerve problems. Hot baths help a ton. So does diaphragmatic breathing. I’m never going to give up this fight to get totally better. Hope you’re improving or all well.
@@alexjonson4473 Hello John, how long have you had it for may I ask? I'm in my 4th month now without any real improvement apart from taking Gabapentin. These have not only helped in what I can only describe as pain altering- but given me a sort of apathy towards it - a sort of acceptance of the situation I suppose.
@@SuperBC10 They make special seat cushions for pain like this. The website is: Cushionyourassets.com. I can give other websites later. You’ll sit easily with them.
@@LaceyV hi. Thanks. I have tried a couple of cushions without much success unfortunately. I need something very hard under my upper legs (😱)to keep the whole perineal area off the seat. Even underwear simply touching the skin causes a real overreacted response to it and I get dreadful pain just from this, it's ludicrous. Alodynia I think this is called? It's a real curse at the moment. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up one morning with no pain there. As time is going on, I'm getting to think this is it for the rest of my days (and nights). ☹ Never mind, it could always be worst. Thanks again, very glad to hear from you. ❤
One of the best video I’ve seen about Pudendal Neuralgia ❤
Wonderful to hear that !
I’ve had multiple back surgeries and I finally found information to help identify the muscles that have been guarding - the pelvic floor muscles. Thank you for this information. They are quite the pain generators. Pelvic floor muscles were never addressed by any of my medical practitioners. Many thanks and much love and light to not only you but all others in pain seeking relief 💜

This is super helpful. I have been looking at a lot of sciatica exercises for my pudendal nerve pain because there aren't too many pudendal specific resources. Your sections about the drop and side to side movements after cobra pose are exactly what I need to tie me over from 70% to hopefully 100%. After doing the side to side swings I feel my lower abs being targeted and the whole hip bone structure being jostled in a good way - everything is loosen up. Thanks so much for the great tips.
I'm so glad the stretches were helpful, Ethan! You're right, there aren't a lot of resources out there for this condition.
Thank you.. I can start now... ALL IN
@@vibrantpelvichealth Someone replied to this thread and my 8 months old comment showed up on my feed.
Just a little update: my pudendal nerve pain is 100% gone. All I did were your exercises and Peter Dornan's exercises, as well as watching out for certain triggers that exacerbate the symptoms. I still have some sciatica that I feel on my leg occasionally, but that's just from the way I sit. I would just like to thank you again. You are a lifesaver.

@@morningwithgracie7870 guten tag ich habe predental nervelogya
'Vibrant' is certainly a perfect word for your work!! What a positive, grounded soul you are, & the exercises are effective. I appreciate the modifications provided. I am in the beginnings of this diagnosis (seemingly it is the dorsal region only of my nerves affected). It came upon suddenly several months after a successful gynecological surgery that I was doing well with. My doctor has no idea why it happened when I was progressing so well in every other way, including some vagus nerve issues I'd had that I worked hard at & had resolved. I also have no issues with pelvic floor hypetonicity, something else I had under control (I thought) after many years of working with it & learning relaxation techniques. So I'm confused, lost & discouraged. This burning has been absolutely excruciating but I'm desperately trying to avoid long term pharmaceuticals which of course is a go-to for doctors. I'm instead diving into nutrition, supplements, trauma therapy & physio/chiro for nerve healing. But I was hoping for some simple stretches to do in the worst of the pain while I struggle. I also have noticed that something in my gentle daily Qigong routine is irritating the condition but couldn't place it, now I know it was the few moves that involved some squatting. Thank you so much for this, truly. God bless you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your story with me. I am happy to have you in my community and I am so proud of you for working on your challenges in such an informed and gentle way. Wishing you the best !!
Awesome! Thank you so very much. I am a pioneer woman West Point grad who was the 2nd woman to join the USMA intercollegiate cycling team. My case is very complicated. I've suffered from chronic pelvic pain for almost 40 years now. And I've had tremendous traumas in my life. I did NOT know of these nerve issues. I am very grateful to be learning about them and finding exercises. The pain has been so bad lately I've been limping.
Many Thanks! I will be following you!

You are so good on your approach. Very understanding and gentle. Almost 2 years with this but relaxation exercise, avoiding cycling and a standing job have made it into a bearable condition, needing a cushion every so often,

same here man. i started feeling symptoms of it when i was 14 and i just couldn’t figure out what’s it was. i went to urologist after urologist after urologist and they couldn’t give me a direct answer. i started doing pelvic floor exercises recently and i have deduced it to PN. i’m 17 now and i’m having less and less pain as the days go on!
Some pelvic floor physical therapy has made my condition worse-especially reverse kegels. Are these stretches more for weak pelvic muscles, or actual damaged/impinged pudendal nerves?
For pudendal nerve damage I believe, entrapment of those nerves
If your pelvic muscles are tight. Means they are overworked, you can't do kegels because that will give you flare ups
@@asdasd-fz3he how do we know if they are tight or relaxed?
Invaluable advice for free. Extremely grateful. These exercises help even for general stress relieve. Has helped to ease tension in my pvic area and learned to breathe socould have a proper gynecologic examination. Yeey! Pat on the shoulder to myself and huge thanks to dr. Bri!💗

Thank you so much for making this video. Your information is so helpful!
I feel really confident that I have pudendal neuralgia. Basically every symptoms fits perfectly, based on your video and my research. I gave birth 10 weeks ago and have been dealing with the pain since.
I’ve seen several doctors and finally got a referral to the pelvic floor PT. At that point, I hadn’t heard of this condition. The PT checked my pelvic floor muscles and said everything was functioning fine. She didn’t check anything else, and didn’t have me move in any way or try any stretches. She basically said PT couldn’t help me, and I felt so discouraged.
Do you think I should get a second opinion? The pain hasn’t gotten better and it is really taking a toll on my quality of life.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Thank you so much. I was on day two kegel camp then today I’ve found out this is my problem. Thank you so much.
It’s so important to know the root cause of your symptoms. Now that you have that knowledge, you are better equipped to move forward in your healing journey. Don’t hesitate to reach out to a local pelvic PT (if possible) for extra support. Typically, stretches and relaxation techniques help relax the muscles that surround the pudendal nerve, thereby releasing impingement and easing pressure that can irritate the pudendal nerve. My Overcome program can help with managing symptoms.
bit.ly/overcomewomenfree Everyone is different, and you can talk to your doctor about what's best for your particular needs!
@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you Dr. Bri for the explanation. I’ve been doing wrong ab and booty exercise for couple years that might directly coast this problem.

@@iflyrcmike they definitely provided relief until I was able to get set up with a Chiropractor. I'm currently going to the Chiropractor twice a week, stretching everyday, and things are somewhat okay. Constant dull burn, but nothing like it was. On longer days it gets quite miserable almost as bad as it was. However the stretches DEFINITELY gave some relief. At first it increased the pain, so I talked with my mother who is a PT to make sure I was doing them right and not messing anything up. After a few days of stretching the pain became less

How times and repetitions do you recommend that i can do this stretchings per day?
For best results, aim to do these stretches once or twice daily, listening to your body and adjusting as needed.
Does it also include bladder pain and dysfunction, anyone know? I've heard very conflicting info on that subject. I have that along with classic pain that goes with pudendal neuralgia, but I also have the constant urge to pee even when I don't need to and pain when I do. Any help/info would be great!!
Sounds like the symptoms of a uti, but I’m not a doctor. This only comes from some research
Yes it can absolutely mimic symptoms of a UTI! ie. Pressure on the bladder, abnormally frequent urge to pee, pain with peeing, etc. The pudendal nerve branches to the urethra and that sensation can reach the bladder area too.
A simple UTI pee test should definitely be done during a pain flare, though! To rule out a UTI and to make sure you’re not leaving an infection untreated!
@@laila_ewing_music several urine tests came back clear, no bacteria. So it's either this or cancer. Great.
I have this same thing. Results from a hysterectomy I had in July.
Just looking into pain like this with my new doctor. Its been a painful journey. I am hoping that my doctor takes suggestions.
I experience an electric shock sensation behind my knees when I make random movements. I have had an MRI done, and the doctor informed me that my spine is fine. Could this be related to pudendal neuralgia

PELVIC PAIN along with urine frequency. can be sorted with this? Pelvic pain increases more when sitting on hard surface for long,,controlling the pee pressure..
walk bear foot or put your feet in soil for atleast 30 min every day it will bring muscel coordination and realign pelvic floor , also will heal root chakra which controls pelvic area

Thank you very much...
Do you think pudendal nerve blocks are a good idea? If you have bad symptoms and is leaving me with no quality of life at 42yrs old.
Please talk to your provider to determine if a nerve block would be helpful for your needs. ~Vibrant Support
Can pudendal neuralgia cause pain in the feet?
Yes
Yes
Every time I follow you k fel better immediately. Thanks for you dr bri
Please mam, is this a nerve PN strain, will it heal on its own, if its symptoms subside?
I recommend talking to your healthcare provider about your concerns ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
Can I do any of pelvic floor strengthening exercises?
Everyone is different, and you can talk to your doctor about what's best for your particular needs! I encourage you to sit up straight (in other words, don't slouch and tuck your bum under), and/or stand up more often to take pressure off the pudendal nerve. Moving regularly throughout the day is key rather than getting "stuck" in one position! You can combine your movement breaks with "pelvic drop" breaks. My Overcome program can also help and provide gentle strengtehing exercises.

You are so sweet to take the time to help people experiencing discomfort. Thank you!
Happy to help!
I have read in several articles that squats should perhaps be avoided with this condition. Which leg exercises are safe? Are lunges safe? Or would that just be considered a unilateral squat?
I did lunges a few days ago, when I was doing them everything felt okay and immediately afterwards as well, but I've had a lot of upper leg pain and inner thigh pain high up for three days now since the day I did them, and more neuropathic symptoms in the pelvis. Not sure if it's linked though.
Pudendal neuralgia, just like any pelvic condition, is difficult because everyone will respond **differently** to exercises based on the severity of their condition and their exercise performance (relative to their current needs). For example, some people with pudendal neuralgia do really well with a few mini air squats or unweighted lunges that aren't too deep. However, this might evoke a symptom flare in other people with PN. Perhaps you did a few too many lunges for where you are (right now)... It would be ideal to contact a pelvic floor physical therapist in your local area if you have access to one! And for now, you might want to focus more on stretches, relaxation exercises/techniques, position changes as often as possible, and walking rather than squats and lunges.
@@vibrantpelvichealth I did super deep lunges. This pain is new for me. It started about a month and a half ago, so I first didn't know some exercises weren't good when having this. I'll shy away from them for the time being and focus more on restorative movement.
I'm in Colombia, it will be difficult to find a good therapist here, but I'll see if I can find people who can help me.
Randomly started to get this pain yesterday. I was doing wimhoff and breathwork so I was wondering if this was the cause of it...
I have been sitting on my chair for hours for months now. I have frequent bowel movement now?
Sitting to me is the main culprit
Thank you so much for posting! Very helpful!

Is better try to walk every day with no effort, than stay put?, Just laying down? I have this condition for many years. I get cornered. Do you think it's better to keep moving, taking short walks every day?
Walking is great !
Hi, just watching this with interest. The section where you press gently with fingers is not do-able if your pain is mainly rectal pain.... any suggestions please? thanks xx
Same problem here....
Same here pain so bad I'm numb muscles constant traction and can't go to the toilet. .. A living hell
You just do it outside of that area I was told
@@jeehpradoo nope, hope you're not a sufferer because it's not good ✌️
thanks Doc. I found a bike seat, Moon Saddle. Started using it before I understood my diagnosis. You might join forces with them!
You are welcome !
For the baby cobra excersize, which muscles am I supposed to be using to lift? My core, my arms, my lower back? I'm a bit confused
In the baby cobra exercise, you primarily use the muscles of your lower back, specifically the erector spinae muscles, to lift your chest off the ground. Your arms provide support, but they're not the primary movers in this exercise. Engaging your core muscles can help stabilize your spine and support the movement, but they're not the main muscles responsible for lifting. Focus on gently contracting your lower back muscles to lift your chest while keeping your core engaged and avoiding excessive strain on your arms. ~Vibrant Support
Nice work, thanks for making this informative video
YOU ARE AWESOME! THANK YOU
You're welcome!
I had a baby 2 yrs ago and i am still suffering. i will try these exercise to get relief
Hi Jasmin. I had a baby 1 yr ago and I’m in pain a lot still. I hope you have a pelvic floor therapist who can help you. Let me know if you’d like to chat via email. I have not known anyone else who got this from giving birth. I had quick, easy delivery, my baby was not large. It’s unfortunate.
@@LaceyV me too i gave birth 10 months ago nothinh is normal after that and also rectocele
@@emiliazlateva2007 Sorry about your pain. Pls go see a Pelvic PT, they will help you a lot. It might be a long journey, but rest assured you will get relief and the pain will reduce!! My baby is 18 months finally I saw a pain doctor and my life is half back to normal !! Go see a pain management specialist.

Is there a video on how to massage the pelvic area with essential oil?
There sure is.....but not on THIS channel. I'm sure you get my meaning, brother.
Will this help with numbness?
Me too suffer from numbness
Me too
I can't tell if it's PN, or levator ani or haemorrhoids. How does a PT differentiate?
A pelvic floor physical therapist uses a combination of detailed history-taking, physical examination, and specific tests to differentiate between conditions like pudendal neuralgia, levator ani syndrome, and hemorrhoids. Their specialized training allows them to distinguish between similar-feeling issues for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment. ~ Vibrant Support
Can pudendal irritation also cause numbness in the area's mentioned rather than pain?x
Yes, pudendal nerve irritation can cause numbness in affected areas, not just pain - it's best to discuss these symptoms with your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. ~ Vibrant Support
I started having pain in my perenium after having nerve blockers for groin pain. I'm not sure if it's pudendal neuralgia or not. Has anyone had a similar experience? A lot of the pelvic floor relaxation exercises I've tried since the nerve blockers have not helped.
Great question! Thank you for sharing! You might give my Pelvic Pain course a try here: bit.ly/7daypainrelief I also have many videos on this playlist that might help: bit.ly/menshealthvids
Is the 3rd reverberate out of alignment when the pudendal nerve is in pain? Also what causes frequent urination? I apologize for many questions... i had this injury or symptom reoccur
Could you give any information on best cushions for pudendal neuralgia? I bought the TheraSeat cushion and find it to hard an uncomfortable. Someone must have knowledge of cushions that work for this problem! Please, any suggestions are most welcome.
Cushion lab..I use them in my car.. all over my house. They are the best!
Suffering from this since 3 year of bad pain everyday , now i know its exact symptoms called Pudendal Neuralgia , it happen to me while rigorous cycling during corona and it make matter worse , thank so much for this video i found will try to do and see if it help
I'm sorry to hear that you've been experiencing pain and discomfort for the past three years, and that you suspect it may be pudendal neuralgia. It can be challenging to deal with chronic pain, but I'm glad you found the video helpful and are willing to give it a try.
Remember to approach any new exercises or techniques with patience, consistency, and mindfulness. It may take time to notice improvements, and it's essential to listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
I encourage you to seek professional medical advice and guidance for your specific situation. They can provide you with a comprehensive assessment and recommend the most suitable treatment options based on your individual needs.

Wishing you relief from your pain and a path towards healing and improved well-being. Take care!
Currently diagnosing myself with this condition. I seem to have settled my spondylolisthesis and what remains is PN. Now I have to convince my Doctor, Gynecologist and Neurosurgeon this exists in my body. Then my long term disability can continue until I am competently able to resume my work duties. No one I have ever met has had this condition. Great video and posts. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Sherry I also have sponylolisthesis and self diagnosed PN and im miserable! I have seen a muscular skeletal consultant and a neurosurgeon. Neither will take the PN seriously!
Oh we do... its just drs don't listen or care.....
Mine burns really bad. Sooo bad! I have been diagnosed with neuropathy of the pelvic floor. But now am aware of Pederna nerve entrapment. Do you think these exercises will help? I was diagnosed in 2011 with neuropathy after hip replacement. It was tolerated in the beginning, but now I am on fire. I am having trouble finding the right Dr to help. But continue to look. Do you have any ideas for someone like me?
I am also disabled from car accident. I have done some form of these exercises, but it seems to get worse.
I will try your suggestions. Any advice would be helpful.
How are you now?
@@milliejaymoon Nothing has changed. Very difficult to deal with.
@@patriciamorgan2659 so sorry. I feel your pain. I have pudendal neuralgia too.
@Jéssica Ferrari I lost the video. The exercises never seem to work. My pain Dr thinks a spinal stimulater might help. I also have a 45 degree curve in my spine. A lot to deal with. I do try the exercises occasionally, but it burns worse, so I stop. This is the first message I have received from this site in quite a while.
@Jéssica Ferrari Can you send me link?
My pain is actually at the base of my bladder. Do you think these exercises would still be applicable...anyone? Thanks
This workout is **pelvic floor aware** meaning that specific cues are given for breathing and technique. This keeps the workout "pelvic floor friendly" for people with all sorts of pelvic floor issues. That being said, I can't guarantee that it will be appropriate for your needs. EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and will tolerate exercises differently. Listen to your body and stop or modify if anything feels uncomfortable for your particular core/pelvic floor needs. Talk to your local pelvic floor physical therapist for individualized medical advice!
