<p>I believe, from my experience with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis that symptoms can evolve. I'm not saying that there is a clear progression towards the condition worsening but, for me, each flare-up I suffer produces a range, and divergence of symptoms. The last really bad bout I had to deal with was over three years ago, and I'm still living with the symptoms today. I, like you, was struggling with a shooting pain that radiated down the back of my left leg and into the sole of my…</p>
<p>I believe, from my experience with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis that symptoms can evolve. I'm not saying that there is a clear progression towards the condition worsening but, for me, each flare-up I suffer produces a range, and divergence of symptoms. The last really bad bout I had to deal with was over three years ago, and I'm still living with the symptoms today. I, like you, was struggling with a shooting pain that radiated down the back of my left leg and into the sole of my foot. This sort of referred pain is a common symptom of prostatitis and is not so unusual given the parallels that can be observed when a person's sciatic nerve becomes inflamed.</p>
<p>I'm sorry you've encountered a Dr. who seems unable to accept the obvious logic behind this type of nerve-based, referred pain, as in other conditions people seem more than happy to accept the association with little scepticism.</p>
<p>How to get rid of it is another matter. I benefitted from a walking regime, that, over time, I was able to develop into something more akin to hiking. I used to cycle for a club in Manchester (UK) but I wouldn't advise that type of exercise any more due to the pressure that can be applied to the perineal area.</p>
<p>Sorry I can't give a definitive answer to the problem of how to remedy this type of pain, but with sort of condition you've got to be patient ( I've had it for eleven years ) and try and wait for your body to heal.</p>
<p>Good luck, James</p>

<p>Sorry to hear. I've had burning pain in my thighs for about the last 7 years out of 13 yrs of prostatitis. It's been pretty consistent, worse with flare ups of prostatitis, less when not having flare up. Sitting pain, groin pain, urinary symptoms, etc. No problem with shoes and hot baths are very good for me. Exercise ok when not flaring, but I don't ride bicycles since many bikers get pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) with symptoms like prostatitis and for a while I thought that was my…</p>
<p>Sorry to hear. I've had burning pain in my thighs for about the last 7 years out of 13 yrs of prostatitis. It's been pretty consistent, worse with flare ups of prostatitis, less when not having flare up. Sitting pain, groin pain, urinary symptoms, etc. No problem with shoes and hot baths are very good for me. Exercise ok when not flaring, but I don't ride bicycles since many bikers get pudendal nerve entrapment (PNE) with symptoms like prostatitis and for a while I thought that was my problem. Steroid shots along the pudendal nerve even helped for 6 to 10 months at a time. I later had PNE surgery to free-up the nerve and thought it was helping, but last Dec, I got one of my worse flare-ups. Injections only helped for about a month at a time. Finally, about 8 months later, the prostatitis seemed to ease off on its own. Pain from about a 5 down to about a 2. If you've been a bike rider for a long time, maybe you should look into this. Good luck. I am considering prostectomy, but man is it scary.</p>
