Pain from Deep squats/leg press

[GaryWary]

I am posting this on a few of EF's boards.

I have had to stop training for a while. I haven't been able to train legs in 5 months. I am going to France for ligament cortisol injections in August. I will possibly have an operation in October (injections are not always successful). Cycle no.3 is on hold until November at least. Muscle has fallen of me!

After much hassle, I have discovered that I have a condition called pudendal nerve entrapment (sometimes referred to as pudendal neuropathy or cyclists syndrome). Bicyclists, body-builders and women in labour are more likely to get this condition.

I and others firmly believe that DEEP leg-presses/squats can cause this difficult to treat condition. Diagnosis is difficult to obtain, since there are few specialists. Most doctors will diagnose other conditions. I live in the UK, but am going to France for treatment.

I am interested in whether any of you have these symptoms:

1. Pain on sitting- in the pudendal area (the taint) - i.e. that bit betwen your balls and anus. Pain when lying down may also be present.

2. NO PAIN when standing.

and possibly:

3. Pain on orgasm or blunted (diminished orgasm) and dimished penile sensation that may come and go.

Any of these symptoms may come and go.

Anyone?

Just interested.

No.


However, improper rotation of the sacrum is far more likely to occur on the leg press where the hamstrings are not properly engaged due to the lack of torso extension. When the legs are brought down far enough that the lumbar area rounds while laying on the back support, the sacrum will nutate without concurrent stress from the hamstrings and erectors. This is the cause of far more lower back trouble than squatting ever caused.

Just curious as to know why you are going to France to have treatment. Why not stay in the UK?

Brtitains National Health Service is shit. Totally inadeqate. In fact, it's a con.. a scandal considering how the British Government rapes people for national insurance and tax and council tax.. There is one doctor in the UK that can diagnose this condition - Dr Baranowski. However, it takes 1 year to be seen by him on the NHS. In 1 year, the damage could be permanent.. also, he can ONLY diagnose, he doesn't know how to operate. To be fair, America also has few doctors capable of diagnosing this condition - I believe it has around 10 people who could diagnose PNE.

Dr. Bensignor, Dr. Labat, and Dr. Robert in Nantes, France are the world authorities on PNE. They all work in the same hospital. There is no point being diagnosed by Baranowski, since you end up paying again to be diagnosed by the french doctors. Therefore, it is best to cut shit Britain out of the loop.

I had cancer missed 4 times by British doctors; in the end I diagnosed my condition. British doctors are truly the worst doctors in the world; and the NHS is appalling.
