Constipation is very bad for nerve pain as straining causes colon

blockage on the left side of the pelvis which is where the pudendal nerve is.

BUT constipation can be controlled. Just think about all that I take - any of

them by themselves can cause constipation. But every day I take Collace, Dannon

DanActive and prune juice. With all of those I have no problem, but I can’t

miss a day. But unfortunately this combination may not work for everybody.

Hi nne, yes I think my pharmacist told me that 2mg of valium

is like 1/3 of .5 of ativan or something like that. I would like to try

the low dose of valium- 2mg/3day just to see if it helped my pelvic floor

muscle pain because I know Dr. Goldstein wrote about it for treatment of pfm

symptoms. But I suppose what I am doing with the ativan would serve the

same purpose. My homeopath told me that valium is VERY constipating, so I

wonder in the long run it these meds really are not making matters worse:(
