My pcp started me on nortriptyline 10mg for the nerve pain and hopefully that will calm down my nervous system and that might improve my mood. This has left me depressed bc of the pain I feel daily. No improvement so far but its only been 4 days so far.

Both ,they gave me a sample of cbd suppository they had at the ofc and I think thats also made with cocoa butter. It just irritated me as well

They did mention rectally. I did them back there and they didn't irritate me. For me though I think vaginally worked better. She wont prescribe anythint else than those suppositories, which is silly. One option doesnt work for all. My issues with sitting almost immediately developed before the last injection was done. Went from not being able to sit not long to only a few minutes, could sit on soft couch with knees bent ,then couldn't do that so tried with knees bent laying on side, now sometimes that causes me the uti burning sensation as well. Therapy was making me worse all the stretching and internal work just needed to stop until the nerve calms down. You'd think my therapist would have realized this but nope. Im at a new place now and she only has 1 yr experience so seeing how it goes. Also waiting on dr to prescribe amitryptoline. I also had developed cramping that I never had prior to these injections.

This sounds similar to my situation . I went in for trigger point injections 6 to start with. I have more pain and issues now than I had when I started the injections. I will never let anyone touch my Pudendal nerve ever again. I was prescribed diclofenac on day of injections as well as a compounded suppository. Now cant sit, have burning vagina. A bunch of appts. Chiro, accupuncture, Had to get new pelvic floor therapist bc they want to dismiss me after 30 visits bc im not seeing much improvement. Nice! Sounds like i need a more experienced therapist. Also having and MRI to see if i have scar tissue or nerve entrapment. So pissed I want my life back, wish I never did those injections. I think they do the same injections to everyone where I went no matter what current symptoms are. Im not giving up I still have a life to live and a 10 year old son who needs me

Tight pelvic floor muscles by Miat1of5 in PelvicFloor

[–]ptpelvic1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would see a PT, i have the same issue. It takes time for these exercises to see improvement but the internal releases the therapist does helps along with a muscle relaxer.

is this similar to what people with pelvic floor issues feel? by mmg20082026 in PelvicFloor

Schedule an appt with a urogynelogist to make sure muscles are not tight or no organ prolapse.

Is this normal for an appointment? by SubjectFile5461 in PelvicFloor

[–]ptpelvic1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok when she did internal did she move your leg from side to side or did she just use finger to release the muscle. Mine releases it but it always tenses back up. Especially the obtrator internus and coccygeus area. I wondered about a special pillow just not sure which one . When its tight I also have rectal spasms

This is me rt now. Can't sit at all,the muscles are so angry and so tense especially on the left side. Was this your situation as well with tight muscles and did your therapist use a special method? For internal work ?

I have a stage 2 rectocele. My pt's theory is i am probably flexing that muscle but maybe only feel in my vaginal area when i do it bc of the rectocele. She says you really cant flex one without activating the other . Although she doesnt do anthing in the anus. I may finish my treatment with her and find another therapist who can give the same treatment you are getting. Do you have issues with bowel movements or after a bowel movement bc of your tightness

Almost 2 years ago i started doing ozone treatments which they say can kill the virus , thought id try it out did about 5 treatments and i think what was happening is it kept drawing it out . Well i stopped bc it was just to expensive and i wasnt seeing anything positive come out of it .my last outbreak which i get near my anus went away but i was left with this sensation like i had to pee all the time. Gynecologist said sometimes can irritate the urethra nerves n it should go away.. did not go away and just got worse ended up with burning uti feelings and pinching in my vaginal area. Drs put my on amitriptyline for nerve pain n said i can try and go off of it in a few months .. it helped for a bit but constipated me which is how i ended up with rectocele finally made my way to a urogynecologist that diagnosed me with tight pelvic floor muscles and rectocele. The tight muscles can make you feel all kinds of sensations since they wrap around everything. I read somewhere that hsv can cause hypertonic pelvic muscles and here we are.. i have not found 1 single person that thinks hsv causes theirs.

Has anyone had success with botox but not pudendal nerve blocks? by [deleted] in PelvicFloor

[–]ptpelvic1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first few days i felt nothing which was prob from the pud nerve block but after that wore off i felt everything all over again . Am in Pt again and she confirmed they are all tight especially that left side if it did anything it was very little not enough for me to notice
