How do you know whether it's tight or loose

There are solutions! You don't have to live in pain!

@@adityastyles259 The pain is unreal that’s how you know

I can help , muscel tightness can be caused by stuck stress and depression, you have to release it through chanting hare krishna mantra see on net and also chant ram 🧘‍♀️ , do manipuraka and muladhara healing , there are many ways to it one is , you should walk bear foot on soil or keep foot in soil for atleast 30 min , try to contact max Part of your body as possible , do it everyday atleast once a day it will be even great it soil is wet . do aum chanting of sadhguru in you tube it's called nada yoga by sadhguru do only his one no other guys

Do you have constipation ?

Me too!

Same

I didn’t even know how to relay what was happening to me. So thankful I did come across

And not just women

What kind of symptoms do you have and did you get any help and what is helping you? I would be really thankful if you would answer.

@@AS-to5xy My symptoms have been extremely varied from the typical pain in the pelvic region to my tongue going numb, unexplained back/neck pain, sinus pressure, and my feet turning blue (likely Reynaud's syndrome). I can't give any solutions, because I don't have any myself yet. It was only recently that I figured out what is going on and still have a month before I can get my first physical therapy session. If nothing else though, understanding what is going on is a massive relief from the anxiety of feeling like I was slowly falling apart.

Yeah I know I've lost many years due to this. Wish I got answers long ago but just thankful to know this info now. Hope you found healing. God bless

How do you cure this

I've had this the past nine months. Tomorrow morning I have my first PT appointment!

i’m 20 also and i’ve been dealing with it since i was 18. i feel the same way and i also have hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction and had the same severe pain everyday every moment no break for so so long. i’m so happy we can come together and see that there is a way out

Addysuun definitely!! Please keep me updated on your progress. My journey with physical therapy has been up and down but I feel like I’m getting somewhere. I recommend the book ‘A headache in the pelvis’ it’s written by specialists and dives deeper into how to treat it and things we can do as individuals to help ourselves, I’m reading it atm it’s very good:)

@@elliec-f4529 will you please tell me what your therapy consists of so I can help myself? Please please please

@@elliec-f4529 thank you for the book recommendation. I am starting to have hope

I'm 22 and had similar issues. Now much better.

Yh They just laugh at you and tell you its all in ur head

That is true. Sometimes it includes suffering from sxual symptoms as well which make it more difficult to deal with. I believe too many people dont check with themselves/their therapists into (emotional flashbacks stemming from) csa/infant circumcision they might have bwent through.

@@tube56t53 yes! Same here. It keeps you questioning yourself. It's maddening

I’ve been dealing with it for 8 years! Doing Pelvic PT for the last 3 years, I’ve made some progress but quality of life is still not great.

@@cjb8659 3 year pt dint help ?

Did you experience bladder pain too?

@@marisagennaro4157 I went to therapy but it hasn’t gotten better . It just feel so tight and I can’t get any relief . Some days are worse than others . I do stretches and using heating pads and muscles relaxers . I gained weight because of the medication the doctor gave me . Can’t lose weight because of the pelvic pain I have . Working out is so difficult. I wish I could go back to my old life . I know a lot of woman go through this . It’s hard but I am managing as best as I can .

@@jessicalarsen7094 Ohh nooo Jess! Hang in there 🙂

@@jessicalarsen7094 Give it time. Take it slow. If one exercise hurts, have your pt adapt it to your needs or move on to another exercise. I spent 3 years in pt. I still need more, my case was really bad. It took over 2 years of dealing with constant pain after abdominal surgery. Every doctor I saw said I was making it up. Until one day my bladder seized up and I went 21 hours without being able to pee. A new Dr in the er diagnosed me and then finally, I was listened too. The pt I have is amazing. She was able to help so much. I still have problems with pain, but that is due to adhesions from the surgery. I'll always have pain, but pt has helped me decrease it to where I can stay out of the hospital. I wish you the best of luck.

@@jessicalarsen7094 how are you doing now? I have the same condition I'm in really bad pelvic/bladder pain can this all be tight pelvic muscles?

Do you take Gabapectin?

Did you do any therapy to help it?

I thought that I had problems with the nerves from my pelvic floor. Had unbearable pain for 3 days. It turned out I had gall stones stuck. Be careful with diagnosing yourself.

I'm feeling this right now. I hope you're doing much better now with treatment

doomsdaea I am!!!!! Thank god. I joke you’re doing well too. I wouldn’t wish this pain on my worst enemy.

HOPE not joke..

@@Addysuun I'm just starting my pelvic floor therapy, but I'm very hopeful! I'm having a laparoscopy to check for and excise endometriosis as well. I think things can only get better for you and me from here on in!

doomsdaea that is amazing to hear. I want every single person with this disorder to have relief, truly one of the worst things. It’s awesome you’re starting pt

Couldn’t agree more, just reading the comments on this video makes me wanna cry. I’ve felt so alone throughout this entire thing and to hear that other ppl deal with this issue is such a relief. I would love to have a community page or forum of some kind for us to talk about our issues in regard to this ailment so that we can help support eachother.

Hi there ! Just wanted to tell you, you’re not alone and you’re not crazy. I’ve had this condition for years. 3 ultrasounds, a CT scan, multiple infection tests- all normal , and countless trips to the ER I started to this I was nuts. I started having symptoms when I was 18 after episodes of panic attacks. Took years to get diagnosed. Can’t say I’m doing a lot better- but many days I’m actually not that bad anymore. Starting PT next week. Just thought I’d share and tell you that please don’t over think and don’t think you have some scary incurable disease. You do not. It’s literally just your muscles. You’ll be okay and well again. Lots of love ❤️

@@yuliaevdokmov8587 Thank you, your post actually helped me figure this out and find a doctor who knows what this is. I have just started PT with a therapist who specializes in pelvic floor pain and I am hopeful that it will be better. Best of luck to you 😊

I also spent time in the ER not knowing what this was. Excruciating blackout pain worse than labor.

I had to go to five Doctors to get the right diagnosis. My last Gastroenterology informed me that it could be muscle spasm, and he recommended to a Male PT. I just had one session with my PT. I still have 12 visits to go. I keep my fingers crossed. Hope the pain will be reduced!

Glad ur getting help now

@@Roguey84 Thank you. God bless!

@@lashawnablanton4649 who did u go to see

Did you do any particular exercises?

Thanks for sharing this.I ve hit my tailbone while i was 12 y/o , so although i have been suffering from emotional flashbacks maybe this can also be a reason i suffer for the passing 8 years from tight pelvic mm .

Pammy how are you doing now? Do you have constipation ? And dose pelvic disorder affect your period ?

Please find a pelvic floor physical therapist. It took me forever to find one because there are not that many. I drive 35 miles to see m pelvic floor physical therapist. She is awesome. I hope you find one. God bless

Your pain comes from Tarlov cysts ? I have myofascial pelvic floor syndrome, and also a Tarlov cyst but my doctor said that my Tarlov cyst was not the cause ? Thank you for your help

Hospitals usually have PTs. Just ask them if they have any PF PTs there.

How are you now? Have your symptoms started to improve yet?Xx

@Jack Lampin what do you have exactly? hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction? it never “goes away” completely but is much much much more manageable.

@Jack Lampin you need to go to physical therapy. it won’t be painful like it is or like it is now forever if you go to pt

@Jack Lampin you need to continue to go to physical therapy. i don’t want mine either but we have to deal with it sometimes

Jack Lampin pelvic physical therapy, and the supplement ‘D-mannose’. You can go into ‘remission’ with it, and there nothing to say you can’t be in remission for the rest of your life, you just have to keep up with the physical therapy and make it part of your daily routine basically forever (you get used to it, I enjoy it now) Xx

Yes. I've suffer from anxiety since i remember and im 39 years old now. And i have many issues with my pelvis. My chiropractor keeps telling me that is in my subconcious mind. I need to work with that to fix my pelvis, because your body follows your mind. I've been in many doctors, physio, osteo, gynecologist, etc with no results. Sometimes it makes things worse. Physio was the worse for me. I'm trying to practice mindfulness and breathing exercises now. Good luck.

@@yasnitac82 thanks for sharing :) have you been to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy yet? That has made a ton of difference and I am in less pain. Honestly my issue seems to be more hip related now. I also had to do an outpatient psychiatry program as I battled my first onset of OCD as soon as I got Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. I was spiraling. But so thankful for my PT and therapists.

@@madelinepepin Not yet, but i've been in physio after pregnancy and she was an expert according to everyone for the pelvis floor muscles but made things worse, osteo, different physio, chiropractor, etc but they only make things worse. I have this issue for 12 years now and tried everything but nothing works =(

@@yasnitac82 my heart is with you ❤️ I know how you feel. What are your symptoms? There’s a Facebook group called Pelvic Floor Dysfunction for Women where we share advice and stories. You will be healed soon.

@@madelinepepin Oh you are such a beautiful soul. Thank you so much for your words. I have many symptoms, pain in ligaments of my pelvis, muscle pain, polyps, cyst in ovaries, heart palpitation, joundice when the pain gets worse, etc. I believe everything is connect it. So many years with this i started to think is more to do with an energy blocked, more like emotionally and pregnancy was the trigger . Thanks so much for the advise, i will definetely check facebook ;) x

Me too. It's confusing until you finally know that's what it is. Horrific.

go to a pelvic floor physical therapist. it can change your life

@Jack Lampin it can almost completely cure it. what are your symptoms? it can be different for men.

Google Michael Hodge overcome pelvic floor pain he has a great program

@@benbatting9770 Yes Ben you are right. I am.following that program.and 2 weeks in it almost 50% of my pain has gone!

Emotional childhood trauma deep therapy helps release

Hip fracture (amongst others) after being waltzed over by an SUV last year - fell back onto tailbone on concrete. Went to many orthos/conventional doctors, no one asked about bathroom/bedroom. Sent me to muskuloskeletal and sports med but sure enough mris did not show hypertonic pelvic floor. Told me it was psychosomatic and to go to therapy for ptsd. Id steer clear of conventional clinics who see three dozen patients a day. Maybe try an osteopath for continued PT referral if your plan requires it. I was stubborn and persisted in my research. (Note, I did not give birth and have no other humans to take care of allowing me to obsess over healing.) I knew the pain getting worse over time was not normal. I was following Hannah Bower on IG and she has released a course on fit mama/pelvic floor. I purchased that in the meantime while searching for a private practice PT. Huge difference in care. Went to two private practice pelvic floor PTs bc one had a 3 month waitlist. On first visit, internal exam and manual release, 40% pain reduction. Went home with a wand and more perineal massage. Pain did return some but now I know what it is. The other pelvic floor PT also practices John Barnes Myofascial release. Her internal exam and release on me months later was much gentler and intuitive. We focused on nervous system down regulation and diaphragmatic breathing + some myofascial release in surrounding structures like abdomen. Gentle version of „gut smashing“ (look it up) with first a sock, then deflated ball on bed, now moving on to a firmer ball on couch before progressing onto firm surface. Breathing correctly! I was „reverse breathing“ and still do a lot but practice diaphragmatic breathing at stop lights or whenever I remember. When your system is working as designed the PF lengthens and shortens with breath. The cue that did it for me was „yawning the sit bones“ upon inhale - which relaxes the pelvic floor. Or „breathing into your lower ribs“, „360 breathing“. Pain dissipated to a mild dull ache for months before coming back (but not as bad) most likely due to stress/nervous system response. We are continuing to do breathwork. Discovered weak iliacus/psoas so we are working on that too so the whole system can work together. Starting Rolfing SI soon bc I have other injuries above&below hip. The body is smart and I have full confidence you can make a full recovery with the right help!!

It goes away for good, everything does actually including hypertonic pelvic floor

@@motivationtube5399 how do you know

Im in the uk too. Did you get help?

I've been seeing a well womens physio in london who does pelvic floor release work. Let me know if you want more details, as it depends where abouts you are in the uk. But I would recommend her.

I hope you can find one. Truly a life saver

@@sammorris2934 Hi Sam. I'm based in London. Could you send me her details?

@@beehiveour hello! The company is called Six Physio. Their main number is 0207 036 0286. Ask about the well womens physio. The therapist I saw was called Caoimhe McNamara. It was abit expensive but she helped me so much. They have a few clinics around london. I hope it helps! Good luck.

Hey did you find any help with pt? Am also suffering with severe tailbone issue even after coccygectomy

Chiropractor? Osteopath? childhood trauma deep therapy? Andofcoyrse physical therapist

@@kaajalsharma1225 yes I’m currently getting help from a pelvic floor therapist and it has been a roller coaster of improvements and sometimes me setting my self back. But education is key. Did you try seeking help yet?

@@FPT84 pelvic flour physiotherapist

And I think you should get physical exam and check if you have pudendal nurelagia. It's cure is also cushions and pt of pelvic floor. And do you have trouble folding leg

I feel like I've seen you in the discord lol.

I'm on my fifth pelvic floor PT for dyssynergia with obstruction. We will see if #5 helps.

searching for a good pelvic strech routine op youtube and do that every day

My sister is suffering right now. Only relief she has is acupuncture. Physical therapy has not help nor drugs. She tried ketilem ingections did not work.

Taking a short break from activities that tighten the pelvic floor intensely while engaging in stretching routines, deep breathing, and gentle massage has been initially helpful for me

Release childhood traumas with deep trauma therapy will help relaxing the muscles as emotions not wept organs will weep

Is this the same as trigger point injections that they do under a camera? Like a nerve block injection?

Will you be reaching out to a PT? For bladder symptoms my pt recommended me the supplement D-Mannose, it has cured almost all of my bladder symptoms as it’s reduced the inflammation on the lining of my bladder, also strong probiotics are great for gut health and helping to rebalance everything to boost healthy function as your symptoms improve with PT. I’m 2 months in and I’m starting to see improvements, best of luck always here if you have questions Xx

@@elliec-f4529hello. that's good that you are seeing improvements. I am just going to finish with my GI doctors to rule out anything else because I am having a numerous amount of complications. Thank you for the recommendations

@@elliec-f4529 hi ellie. Can I ask some questions about your symptoms? I am having a ton of GI issue which seem to improve at times when doing stretching. Im just curious what your symptoms were with pelvic floor issues if that's okay

Nobody important i forgot to mention I also developed food sensitivities so can no longer consume gluten, dairy, caffeine, alcohol etc without becoming very ill, hopefully after longer treatment I’ll be able to add things back into my diet but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to have gluten or dairy again without being ill

@@elliec-f4529 thank you for sharing that. I was curious to ask you because my GI doctors cannot seem to find what's wrong with me. I also have a few mental disorders to add to that. Im just trying to figure out whats wrong. Hope you continue to improve

Hi brother where are you from

@@aruntejagaddam6369 india why?

@@adityastyles259 Did you try PT?

@@irshadali4332 also see videos on which exercises or phisio exercises not to do for this because it's hard to find a good phisio and also see videos on breathing for pelvic pain I will share some link if you want

Go to a good pelvic flour physiotherapist and also use your own brain and also see a urologist or some doctor . If you have sharp needle like or burning pain then you might have pudendal nerve , it can also be cured with good physiotherapist of pelvic flour

go to a pelvic floor therapist :) eventually they will teach you how to do it at home manually or with a pelvic floor wand. this helps to release the pain. good luck! i feel your pain literally and figuratively xx

@@quellerox Thank you for sharing this with me !

Use special cushions for it , see pelvic health channel and others also on KZfaq, also see donut or round shape cushions, as per your need

I also had very bad pain attacks In my pelvic floor for about 3 years.When I got after a few years heavy pain under my left shoulder blade I thought it was a compressed nerve. After a few days I got finally pain under my right rib and I got fever. It turned out that my pelvic floor pain were gall bladder attacks. I misdiagnosed myself for a few years. Problems in the area of the liver can cause pain in the pelvic floor or under the shoulder blades in my case. There is a long nerve, the phrenic nerve what can cause heavy pain in the pelvic floor or anywhere in your back, neck or head if the problem is actual in the gallbladder, liver et cetera. Maybe that is also something to exclude in your case! All that years I didn't have pain in my stomach.That only started when my gallbladder was heavily inflammated and also my pancreas and liver started to get inflammated. My gallbladder is removed and no pelvic floor pain at all anymore.

@@lienbijs1205 they are saying that is my oblique muscle and it makes sense because the MRIs didnt find any organ damaged thank God
