Currently I am having pelvic floor Physical therapy and wonder what % of POIS suffers have had acute pelvic pain related to an injury in the past that they are aware of.
POIS is certainly inflammatory, and connected to our immune systems, but I wonder how much of it may be related to an acute injury.
I almost broke my tailbone at age 12 essentially dislocating it playing basketball (points inward to the left as the physical therapist tells me).
I broke my femur (stress fracture) on the hip joint playing soccer at age 12.
I injured my penis masturbating at the same age (embarrassing but important).
At age 22 I injured my lower back scuba diving which exacerbated symptoms.
Besides that I have multiple injuries on my knees and ankles from years of sports which may exacerbate more acute pain in the pelvic region, throwing things out of alignment and adding to inflammation or possibly causing it.
Thoughts/injuries...
