Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 What could cause both? I am struggling with believing that my pelvic muscles are in spasm from an infection causing nerve pain, or that my nerve pain caused by an infection is causing my spasms Can we review the reasons one can have both going on? I want to get to the root cause of this and am wondering what I should explore first. CGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Carolyn, The following paragraph is taken from the first page, sixth paragraph on Enterolab's website. Nerve and muscle spasm is a major symptom. So that is one reason: " Other symptoms not associated with the gut include weakness, peripheral neuropathy (numbness or tingling in hands or feet), muscle spasms, bone pain, night blindness and cessation of menses.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 It actually makes perfect sense that you have both because nerves feed muscles. Also, depending how long you have had pain, you can develop secondary muscle spasms from flinching against pain. This was the cycle I got into: chronic infection and overtreatment of infection led to pain that wouldn't go away even when the infection was all gone. Some doctors (Ledger, especially) think it's a gene that mediates whose nerves go into " on " mode and refuse to shut off and whose nerves calm down when the trouble (infection, allergic reaction, whatever) has passed. Nereves send messages to muscles... It all becomes a vicious cycle. What worked for me was a combination approach: seeing both a vulvar MD and a pt. Lia > > > What could cause both?

Guest guest Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Explore everything you can, C, in order to find the symptoms closest to yours and then start eliminating causes with such things as diet, PT, antihistamimines, blood tests to rule out STD's and other diseases, a biopsy if necesary, etc. Read all you can on the medical sites -- all the while determining if the symptoms you are reading about are closely aligned with what you suffer. That's pretty much what each of us has to do, as it seems this disorder can be (and is) caused by many different things and we each have to ferret out what our causes may be. For me, there were several causes which all contributed to my v pain and nerve pain was one of them.Carolyn52192@... wrote: What could cause both?
