 THIS SAVED MY LIFE! March 13, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I have suffered from chronic pelvic pain since I was eighteen, which was fourteen years ago. I developed the pain through over-stretching. Initially I thought that it had been a tear or sprain. Who knows, it might have been. Physical therapy helped me up to a point, but I could not get rid of the inflammation or sever burning. I was in pain constantly regardless of what I was doing: sitting or standing. It got to the point that my legs atrophied and I was forced to sit in a chair constantly: it hurt worse standing than sitting. Every physician I went to could not help me. Urologist didn't understand what was going on and every physical therapist told me that there was no connection between my pelvic floor and the other areas I was feeling pain. They would usually blow me off and tell me that I needed to go see a psychologist. I did! Even a psychiatrist! Even my brother who is a physician could not help me. I had searched the web for help and I came across a lot of stuff. I found a place in China that will directly inject your prostate with antibiotics. There is the Chicago clinic. I even started taking all of these weird supplements. Nothing helped. My whole life was destroyed by this problem. Anyone who has suffered from this or knows someone who suffers from this will testify. I wouldn't wish this on my enemy. Because of this injury my whole life stopped. I still live at home. I haven't graduated college. When my ex-fiance got married I wanted to give up. Luckily, I found this book just like many of you have who are reading this right now. I did a google search and found this book right here on this site. After reading the book I started to get better. My whole life was here! I enrolled in the clinic. At first I was hesitant, but I had nothing to lose. After fourteen years of hell, by the third day I was pain free. It lasted for a couple hours, actually through the night. It was amazing. This is actually an easy fix. It's like have a constantly flexed muscle that needs to relax: that's it. The process can be long but it is simple. There is nothing complicated. You learn how to manually stretch your floor and on top of that you learn how to relax. There are no medications, no injections it's not that complicated! The treatment is simple and completely effective. I met people there who had had surgery on their genitals! It is very sad that even today medical industry is clueless about this. I went to the clinic about two months ago. Today I am lifting weights, playing basketball, having sex regularly and even, although not recommended, doing sit-ups all in the same day! No joke. If anyone out there has questions about me or the clinic write me. I'll help you! Thank you Dr. Wise, Tim and Sarah!

To my knowledge, this is the only book on the subject of chronic pelvic pain and after reading it, I finally have a sense of hope for my condition. In my situation, symptoms having been getting worse over the past year - not so bad that I've been incapacitated, but bad enough that I've been concerned for my long term health. This book has been a godsend. For now I understand what causes, and how to treat my pelvic pain. That is a huge revelation.
About a year ago, I went to a urologist, who, after performing some tests, stated my problem was simply stress. However, he provided no information on how to TREAT my current symptoms. This book has filled that void, and now I have sense of hope for the future. And that is very important. Time will tell if how much symptoms will improve. I've already had some abatement of my symptoms just since reading the book.
I have to disagree with one reviewer who feels this book is merely an advertisement for their week long program in Northern California. It's really just in the chapter on Trigger Point Release that the authors bang that drum, and it's for good reason: These are techniques that, as far as I can tell, DO require supervision for safety and best results.
My only criticism of the book lies in the area of presentation. Dr. Wise and Dr. Anderson are not writers, and it shows. The book desperately needs a competent editor - it is littered with typos and grammatical mistakes (there's a even a grammatical mistake on the cover!), and some sentences are downright clunky. I found the chapter on Paradoxical Relaxation particularly awkward.
But don't throw out the baby with the bath water. All in all this is a huge achievement in the research and treatment of assorted pelvic pain conditions.

It is definitely not a self-help book, quite a lot of information though. So how to treat yourself though moment - to moment paradoxical relaxation? Unfortunately ,you will not find the answer in the book.
Review of Headache in the Pelvis November 14, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I'm only half way thru the book, but it has been very relevant to my situation. It contains more information about this problem than I have ever found anywhere else. A little disappointing that the intro suggests that the book provides a self help solution, but the material in the book says professional help is likely needed. But I am trying to practice its recommendations anyway. This book is worth it just for the extensive info it provides, and has potential to help lots more.
