  • My PFD is SO bad

    I love my physical therapist...I wish I could just go in whenever I was in spasm, LOL. She does internal trigger point release and you would not believe how HUGE the release is.
    I saw her today and I feel SOOOOOOOOOOOo good. I'm going to exercise tonight so that may put me back in a spasm - but she told me to use the elliptical.

    Does anyone else need internal trigger point releases? That is where all my pain is stemming from, it isn't my bladder at all I don't think. When that muscle lets go it feels so good, I just wish it would stay relaxed!!

    hEY THERE!

    I get the internal trigger-point release too. It helps with the pain, but not the peeing. I do get sore for a short time afterwoods. My left side is worse so one of my hips is rotated I have to do these exercises at home with a small vibirator(which is weird) but it helps to relax the muscles and helps quite a bit. She says no sex for now, becuase I can't get up to the right dialator yet. She is really nice and does pilates with me at the clinic. My uro thinks this will help my pain alot...he is right so far!

      My PFD is real bad too, just started internals, and i asked her today, this is really bad isnt it, she said well we rate from 0-4 and you are definently a 4.

      It hurt more today, but she did find the muscles near my urethra are super tight, which she said is a good thing because it very well could be causing some of my iritation and pain.

      I just wish i knew how the heck this got so bad. I think it was the mutiple infections i had.
