The meds I'm currently on are: Ditropan, Pyridium, some urinary antibiotic, birth control, and an allergy med. The pyridium and antibiotic were new (5 days ago). My gyno did a pelvic exam on me last week. He felt my urethra and boy that hurt. Is there a way to tell if it was the urethra or the pelvic floor muscles causing the pain? The funny part was he pressed on my bladder and it didn't hurt at all, just the urethra (why he gave me the pyridium and antibiotic). The transvaginal ultrasound actually showed spasms, but he didn't say if it was the bladder, urethra, or surrounding muscles. How can you tell if it is the pelvic muscles and not the urinary structures? Also, since that last exam (5 days ago), my vagina has been really sore, especially the opening. I took a hot bath last night and that seemed to help... but I lifted weights tonight (cannot walk or run since 5 months ago) and now I feel terrible. This is just so frustrating! I wish they would tell me what is causing the pain and frequency/urgency! I guess I'm glad they found the pain source... now just identifying the cause of the pain source...
Thank you for your help!
