I had surgery on 4/21/10 and am experiencing similar pain, more on the order of what the response to your question was; pelvic floor muscle pain. It's hard to sit if I've been standing for more than 45 minutes. Lying down seems to eliminate it for awhile. I stopped doing the excercises more than a week ago and find no difference in pain level
In July of 2010 I had the robotic surgery, I woke up in recovery with so much pain in the posterior that they kept me knocked out with morphine for several hours then more when I got to my room. This was so debilitating that I could not sit in a chair for a week then only on two round pillows separated to prevent pressure on the area. Now a year and a half latter I still have pain every day and still sit on Coccyx pillows to be comfortable. I accused the hospital of dropping me on my tailbone at some point during or after surgery but they deny that and the surgeon will not discuss or address the problem at all. By the way I have never done a kegel at all and at 30 days was only using a pad every 24 hours and still am. So if not kegels what is the problem? I know others have experienced this as well.
