Been in agony for weeks. First exercise relieved the pain unlike the painkillers I've been on. Thank you so much.

[bozenawojno]

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.

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.

This lady is so kind to upload such videos....

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.

One of the best video I’ve seen about Pudendal Neuralgia ❤

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 YouTube 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!!

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 💜

[ethancheng]

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.

[killerkezoow]

I dident know this was a thing so i would just suffer in silence when it would happen. Thank you for this amazing video ❤

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 so much for your video!!! I'm with pudendal neuralgia right now and your video gave me hope. I will do it all day. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

[KellyLamb]

'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.

[bobditty]

This is a life saver for me right now. Thank you for sharing!

[DaniFernandesVideos]

Thank you for this video! Just did all the stretches and massage and what I’ve found most relaxing was the first stretch, so nice! 🙏🏻

[privateaccountfor]

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!
❤️🙏

[helenaoconnell]

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

[LadyMustard]

How many times a day is ok? Morning and evening? I found laughing baby incredible - felt some relief after that for a bit. So, thank you.
