Does anyone else feel muscle spasms in their pelvic area? i can literally feel the muscles around my perineum spasms. it feels the same as an eye twitch, just fast spasms that last a few seconds. it usually happens at night when im laying in bed. it it the strangest feeling! my PT said it could be from the tight pelvic muscles becoming so fatigued that they begin to twitch.

Have you and your doctor considered physical therapy to help with the spasms? If not, I suggest you ask.
Warm healing thoughts,

Anyone who says something is foolproof hasn't met a determined fool -
I had them for a long time and they were the worst in the middle of the night or when I would lay down for an extended period of time. I would have to get up and walk around to relieve the spasms and use a heating pad. Internal pt helped a great deal along with moist heat, chamomile tea to relax the muscles, epsom salts baths, pelvic stretches, and Ativan. They eventually subsided and I no longer get them but I do keep up the pelvic stretches and epsom salts baths.Comment

Yes, I've felt them....they're not pleasant. Earthlady gave some great advice. Internal PT has done wonders for me too, as well as heat and just consciously trying to relax and breathe deeply.----------------------

Yes, I too, have experienced the "twitching" down there. I've also had internal PT and I'm so much better.
Take care and like Donna said, check with your doctor and maybe you'll be referred for PT also if they think it may help.Never heard of IC til suspected....Never knew so many suffer from it. Praying for a cure.
I've found answers...so can you...keep the hope.
