Guest guest Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I know people on here and my other groups have had trigger point injections...some got temporary relief, but overall I haven't heard positive things - it definitely wasn't the cure all that it was for the girl on the show (she just had the injections and one therapy session). Hopefully someone who's actually had them will post... Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Molly, It isn't so much about control, but about listening to the signs my body gives me to help me figure out which route to take and right now it looks like another one of my problems for why my pain is as it is could be related to my bladder. I'm scared to think that the endometriosis (one of my other medical problems) could be affecting my bladder now because of a scare I got back in March. I am going to have to get my bladder checked out though because of the fact that the symptoms I had in March also tell me that I could have IC which if I do would confirm the suspicions that my gyn had 7 years ago. I also had some issues with my bladder 7 years that caused a great deal of pain. So from that standpoint I could see where that could come in to play too as far as causing muscle spasm if it turned out that they were spasming. But you have done me a favor hon. Given me a bit more to know what to look for now when I keep an eye on my bowel too because when that doctor tried to tell me that I had pelvic floor muscle spasm she tried to tell me that I had spasm of the muscle area that Carol said the doctor mentioned the levator ani. I noticed when I read up on the urogyn in this area that he listed it (and I've seen it elsewhere too) as levator ani syndrome. Which means that there is something physically causing this to occur. I'm going to do some more research on it in relation to fibro too so that once I rule out all other physical causes that could be possible then I can try and talk to a physiatrist or go to that urogyn to have his Nurse Practicioner (just hope she has handled fibro patients too) look at me and see what can be done to see what else can be of possible help. So I may consider PT at some point. And thankfully I did talk to someone in my area that has a lot of knowledge (talked to her several years ago) and she told me that if I ever want to try it that she would respect my wishes to stay external so that's good. I will keep you posted on how this turns out but right now it has to wait because my mom is having surgery for her breast cancer on Tues. Thanks for giving me some other thoughts to consider when it comes to listening to the signals my body gives because sometimes it can give me new signals too that I need to be aware of. Which then leads me to more research. I may have some questions for you at a later date because you mentioned about what happened to you.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 I was diagnosed with IC. Did I have IC??? I don't know. Did my bladder hurt??? YES! Was it REALLY my bladder hurting? Yes it was. Was it the muscles that were CAUSING my bladder to hurt? Yes it was. Last year when I had a mini relapse and I was sure just SURE it was my pudendal nerve, was it? NO it was my coccygeus muscle. This from a girl who knows her body and is hyperaware of her pelvic floor after six months of at home biofeedback therapy. I did NOT want to go back to San Fran (a money thing) so I went to three semi local PTs (one one the western slope and two in Denver) who said they were well trained but didn't have a clue. So I bit the bullet and went back to San Fran (when you've been to the best, what can you do?). So after 30 seconds of exam said "oh, that's your coccygeus muscle, not your PN you'll be fine, just go ahead and work on it. So what am I trying to say after two glasses of wine? I guess be open minded. was the sixth PT I saw, Dr. Weiss was the 23rd doc. Please just keep on swinging. This is my little niche in life to try to inspire hope to people. I had lost hope. But somehow I kept on trying. I now realize that perhaps I am a perhaps simple case although it didn't seem simple to me. A solid year of horrific, painful, invasive, painful physical therapy. But what choice did I have? I went on a three hour horseback ride yesterday. I am aware every minute, every second of how blessed I am. So sorry about your mom. I love my mom so much it hurts, she is 79 and I cherish every second. I can't even think about what you're going through. Keep your chin up and you should join the happypelvis group. People seem to be dissappearing off the group after posting about their improving health - you know why? Because they're getting well!!! keep your chin up love, Molly Re: Private practice Molly,It isn't so much about control, but about listening to the signsmy body gives me to help me figure out which route to take andright now it looks like another one of my problems for why mypain is as it is could be related to my bladder.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Molly, My Pain Management doctor who is an osteopathic doctor discovered at last visit that my sacral area was out of alignment and did some work on the muscle around that area too and I felt much better. In my case though, my bladder really is an issue and how I know that is because of some symptoms 7 years ago and again back in March when I had to have an ultrasound done. I just don't know yet if it's the issue of IC or endo. We'll see after my mom is fully recovered from her surgery.
