    Help?!! Pelvic floor muscle flare

    Any suggestions for muscle related flare?

    I started a new job today that doesn't have as frequent bathroom breaks as I'm used to... and was totally miserable with locked up muscles that wouldn't relax when I did finally get to go to a restroom!!!

    I'm so sorry. I hope your doctor is able to order something to help you relax a little.

      I had the same thing happen last month, got into my PT and she fixed it after one session. I sometimes sit on a rubber ball the size of a tennis ball and that really helps.
