Obturator Internus Injury

I believe that a very likely have and injury, or at the very least a problem involving the obturator internus muscle. I started a thread a few weeks ago titled “Pudendal Nerve Problem?”, because I felt that this could be my ailment.

After getting some really good advice from people on this site, as well as form friends who are knowledgeable in the area, I believe that symptoms may indirectly involve the pudendal nerve, but more directly involve the obturator internus.

My questions are as follows:

  1. Does anyone have experience with this muscle being injured / aggravated in any way?

  2. If so how did you deal with it? What were your symptoms?

  3. How competent should PT’s be in dealing with this problem, as it seems that it is not that common?

What leads me to believe that it is a problem with the obturator internus is the fact the the pain originates from the ischium of the pelvis, often it will radiate to the penile area (especially if aroused) as well as the perineum.

All in all this sucks, but I am confident that it can be treated by the right people.

Any advice / information is much appreciated. I really hope to hear from some of our community experts.

God Bless,
