I saw a PT for a week while out of town on vacation. I live in the middle of nowhere so PT isn't even an option until my daughter is done nursing and I can get a little farther from home. Just TMS work right now but I'm still having some trouble accepting that my mind did this. It is torture...

Levator Ani. Still trying to figure out what helps and where to begin!

Miss Shamrocks, I'm rooting for you. Please let me know when you overcome. I've also been told my pelvic muscles are two to three times tighter than they "should be". It makes restroom visits diffucult and a source of stress. Have you tried yoga? I found it helps when I'm able to do it. As I am...

I am dealing with something that seems to be identical. I am curious if anyone ever came to a resolution on these issues or have they improved?

I am entirely new to TMS. I was recently told I have Pelvic Floor Dysfunction....I've had a colonoscopy, ultrasound, MRI, CT scan, defacography (dont ask) and wayyyyy too many pelvic exams. My symptoms started a few months after my daughter and I both almost died and she was born 10 weeks early...
