I’ve been in horrific pain for two years to the point where I was ready to give up. After using the tennis ball it’s gone. I’m crying right now from relief. I know it may come back but I know what to do from now on. Thank you so so so so so so so much. ❤️

I've been dealing with this issue for 1 year and 6 months. I can't find my initial comment from 6 months ago, so I will write a new one, as I have an update. Back then I mentioned that last year (2023) these exercises caused triggers for me, which caused burning sensation. I had also mentioned that I started using a tennisball sized cork ball which made a big difference. Since April I also went to physical therapy and my therapist is specialized in pelvic floor issues. She basically goes internal to give relief to what causes the nerve pain, but I want to stress that the most helpful were cork ball exercises that I developed for myself: I sat on the ground, lifted myself up and moved one side of butt cheeks over the cork ball, and basically massaged the areas deep in the tissue that hurt the most. When the left cheek was massaged, my left leg was placed over my right leg to expose the muscles more to the cork ball. After a while I did the same on the other side but switched legs. After that, I got up and just jumped up and down to get the blood flow through all of that. It immediately relieved the tingling, itching or burning sensation. I kept doing this everyday for 5 months. Recently (May 2024) I also joined a gym and I go there twice a week to exercise my butt muscles. Today June 30th my symptoms are so minimal, life is as good as back to normal, I'm sure if I just keep doing this they will be gone for good. The cause for me was straining the butt muscles over a long period of time while working on a laptop, without any exercise. To whoever will read this, I hope my experience will help you get well again, too.

Thank you so much. I've had PNE since 2001 Hysterectomy

I had pelvic surgery in 2018 and ever since having nerve n muscle issues in areas around entire pelvic/butt Thank you for help

I will share this video with some people who have this problem !

For the first time in almost a year of having pudendal neuralgia in starting to feel a difference in my pain. 4.5 months of pelvic floor therapy that they were trying to strengthen my pelvic floor I now know they were not doing their job correctly for me. Thank you for all your help. I finally feel like there is hope this will get better!!!

Wow... 3 minutes in and my pain is completely gone. Thank you so much! The pain is so much worse than labor pain. I just gave birth almost 2 months ago

I’m 76. Your exercises have helped constant pain in my clitoris. Definitely helps but have todo them on the bed.

I have had chronic pudendal nerve flares for 3 years. Thanks for another set of calming exercises

I had a DaVinci hysterectomy which went a bit haywire. I was having difficulty prior to that surgery.. The pain when I evacuate my bowels is unbearable. I finally had to go out on disability. I've had 2 lower back and one neck. After my DaVinci I became so electronical I ended up in the emergency room. I finally was diagnosed with caudia equida syndrome and purdendal neuralgia. I do have pelvic therapy and tried everything. I found PT has helped, however my bowels and bladder are effected. What a wonderful video to stumble on.

I had pain in the lower abdomen, hips, groin, vagina, inner thighs and legs I did colonoscopy, ultrasound and clinical examinations to rule out other causes My pain is terrible and cannot be understood by anyone, I searched on the internet myself and found all the symptoms of this syndrome according to my physical condition. I try to do the exercises, I have been in pain for 40 days I hope the problem will be solved Thanks for your video🙏🏻♥️

Thank you so much for this video! I felt so good after following along ❤ how often should those exercises be done? Since it‘s about the nerve I can imagine there is not only a not often enough but also a too much. Thank you so much for bringing out great content over and over again 🫶🏼

Hola , llevo años con problemas de dolor en la zona pelvica . Me operaron de una hernia, unidad del dolor , todo tipo de analgesicos , y nada. Dolor y molestia diaria . El urólogo, traumatólogo,cirujano ,etc , todos me dicen que estoy bien . Que no saben porque tengo dolor . Buscando por mi cuenta vi que el nervio pudendo podia ser la causa de mis problemas. Busque y te encontre . Desde que realizo los ejercicios con las pelotas el dolor ha mejorado muchísimo, incluso hay muchos días que desaparece . Sigo con ellos y funciona . Muchas muchas gracias. Eres increíble!!❤❤

Enjoyed and added to my routine. Thank you 🙏🏼 Just a request is it possible to tone down the volume a notch, I get so easy distracted by loudness instead your beautiful soft voice . Namaste

as a man whose been suffering from PN since 14, i’ve never felt more relief. the first exercise itself cleared up so much pain that i nearly cried out of joy.

These are really good stretches. I understand that stretching your hamstrings can aggravate an already bothered pudendal nerve. Is that right?

Please guide me for the right excercise for penile nerve damage, I have been taking medicines after consulting urologist quite relieved now but I genuinely think excercise can definitely add up to the relief to control pain and spasm in genital region, please guide me I will be grateful

How do you heal from pudendus nerve damage ?

bonjour et merci pour vos exercices, je suis atteinte de névralgies pudendales. il y a t-il une version en langue francaise. bien cordialement. Nadia-Reine

Is swimming helpful to release tight pelvic floor? I hv urgency and pelvic pain..I am also doing these stretch es

I have the pain of the pudendal nerve for two years nothing has helped me until I found you,I have only been doing your yoga for two days and I fell much better than you🥰

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

Thanks for these great exercises. Do we do this every day?

I really hope this can help me because I've had this condition for almost a year and it's caused me a lot of stress and it's made me want to give up on life. I just hope this can help it go away eventually

Hi there I have had pain on my sit bone and shooting pains around my groin. I’ve found your breathing exercises useful although I still struggle to sit down. I have been to have an ultrasound and they said it’s high hamstring tendinopathy. Could that trap the pudendal nerve? And which of your videos would help the most do you think?

It works temporarily for me, i think... Right after exercising it feels a bit better. I hope it can work long feem.

Are these exercises safe for people with lower back disc problems? My spinal doctor/physiotherapist has had me doing extension exercises (McKenzie Method), not flexion exercises. Will these flexion exercises you recommend be okay for me? My pudendal nerve pain is bad and I need relief from the constant burning. Thank you!

the tennis ball exercise hurts so much it presses down on the nerve on my stomach and hurts my vulval area. is it supposed to hurt and what nerve is that

I have a severe stinging pain on touching on vulva , it is burning and also have painful urination. Is this a pudendal neuralgia?

Hi Dr Melissa, I have pudendal neurgia and have suffered for 12 years now. Nothing has provided relief other than some from chiropractic care. I'm interested in starting your videos but I have a problem. I can not get on the floor because getting back up causes terrible pain to my pudendal nerve. Most pain is in the base of my tailbone. Can I do these laying on my bed? It seems it's too soft to get the right position. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your time, Lacey

I’m suffering from this terrible pain as we speak… thanks for this video to try to help. :) I’ve been seeing spine specialists, physical therapists, urgent cares, and chiropractic. Oh, and a podiatrist for insoles as well. I’m running out of hope. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go next? Debating going back to the ER, but they just send you away, anyway. How do I get relief from this? :( I can’t even have any erections anymore. I’m not sure how to advocate for myself from this point because I’m just sad and giving up. Sorry if this sounds whiney… just not sure what has worked for others, or where to go from here, and every day that passes makes me more sad.

Hi, I was wondering if you could with an issue I have. I’m very flexible, so when I’m stretching against the wall, I feel a little tightness in my inner thighs. But I also feel strong tension in what I think is a muscle (below my hip bone and a little bit towards the groin, I can feel its tightness with my hand). And when I lie against the wall for a while, these muscles get tight and I can’t lift my legs back so I need to lift them with my hands. I don’t know if it’s tight hip abductors or psoas or something else, but I feel like it’s contributing to my pelvic floor issues too. I used to be able to do splits and I only developed this tightness a couple of years, I think from sitting cross legged at my desk job. Sorry for the long post but I was wondering if you could tell what the issue might be? Thank you

Hi, thank you for your videos. I think I have problems with pudendal nerve. I’m a male, does this excersices are also for men?.

Hi Dr. Melissa I wanted to ask you if you could put together a class on how to do abdominal breathing while laying down and also a yoga class for better sleep. Please let me know if this is within your scope of accomplishment. Thank you. My name is Zachary.
