I have this issue and it’s caused weeks of intense pain and lack of sleep. Thank you for this video!

Thank you for the helpful information! I didn’t know where the pain was from. Wish I had a person like where I live.

The OI can spasm and clamp the pudendal nerve, causing a neuralgia. Releasing the muscle to free up the nerve is so simple conceptually, yet so challenging…

Great info thank you - can you please recommend some stretches for the OI?

Whoa! My pain is excruciating in the pubic synthesis. I cannot walk around the block. Or get out of my car, or stand without stabbing pain. Also deep glutes. So exhausted. This has been going on for 4 months!

Sometimes the spasmodic OI refers pain to the pubic symphysis, but intense pubic symphysis pain for a prolonged period of time is usually caused by other pelvic asymmetries. I recommend seeing a pelvic therapist. Or, we can do a telehealth consultation if that would be helpful 🙂

Interesting! My hip doctor identified the OI is my issue, but my pain is all in my sit bone and my pelvic floor (where the OI attaches to the pelvic bone). Thought it was a proximal hamstring tendon injury for a while because of my sit bone pain. But you didn't mention that area as a common pain site. Am I an unusual case?

@oxbowhealthwellness 7 ай бұрын

No, I wouldn't say that is so unusual. Because the OI shares connective tissue with the pelvic floor muscles, having pain there is not atypical. The proximal hamstring sensation doesn't surprise me either, because they are so close together, and are influenced by similar hip and pelvic movements, it seems natural that your brain perceived it as your hamstring.

@@oxbowhealthwellness Oh okay, good to know. I've also had pain going down my hamstring, and I apparently also have pudendal neuralgia too. Just a lot going on in there. ☹️

@@oxbowhealthwellnessanother question - I tried doing this, today. After watching a couple similar videos. And I just had a lot of that nerve pain afterwards. Does that mean I shouldn't be doing this? My doctor also said my obterator internus Tendon is thickened. I start pelvic floor PT in two more weeks so I was looking online for things to do in the meantime.

@@ginnytilby oof, yes, I would hold off. There's a good chance you could be irritating the pudendal or obturator nerve, or maybe just pushing too hard. I have some other exercises that could be more appropriate, but also more specific. I love that you are proactive, but maybe wait until you have a full assessment and specific treatment plan from your pelvic PT ☺️

Could it cause pain with sitting?

@oxbowhealthwellness 4 ай бұрын

@@beckybauman-bc9xb potentially, if you have your hips positioned where the muscle is on stretch (knees inward), or if you are really shortening the muscle fibers with external rotation (knees out side). But that is not a typical pain presentation. If you are having pain with sitting, there is probably something else going on that needs addressing!
