After reading up on pelvic floor therapies I am wanting to try it. Do I need to talk about this with my urologist? Does anyone know if Medicaid will pay for pelvic floor therapy?

You have to get a referral to a PT place. Try and find someone who treats IC or womens health. I went to regular PT and it made it worse because they didnt know about IC.Diagnosis: IC '09, vulvodynia '10, fructose intolerance '06, GERD '06, fibromyalgia '09, IBS '10 and TMJ '09, PCOS '11, genital herpes '12
Current Meds: Butrans patch, welbutrin, lamictol, geodon, xanax, aldactone, linzess, topimax, trazadone and diflucan as needed.
Meds tried before: Elmiron, elavil, antibiotics, welbutrin, cymbalta, prozac, nerve blocks, instills, nyastatin, flexerol, percocet, naproxen (which was what I was given for pain for years). -
Thank you for the information about finding one that treats IC.Comment

Most insurances will insist on a diagnosis that can be helped by physical therapy. A physical therapist cannot work with a patient without a physician's order.
