Re: My PT Appointment on Tuesday

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the update, ! It all sounds so

interesting, and hopeful! That's great that you

can now feel the dialator doing its stretching job.

It's also great that your PT takes the time with

you to show you anatomical stuff on the pelvis model.

I can't believe how ignorant I am regarding anatomy!

My PT started my internal work today, somewhat ahead

of schedule. Even though my pelvis is still

stubbornly refusing to *stay* aligned, I am having so

much pain and trouble with my anal fissures, she

decided to get started on the internal work. (My

colo-rectal doctor said my tight pelvic muscles are

cutting off the blood supply to my rectal area, and

that's why the fissures aren't healing.) She was

pushing on various muscles through my vagina and sure

enough, the most painful muscle is one that affects

the rectum. So I'm hopeful I'll get some relief from

this darn butt pain soon!!!! To make things worse, I

had a reaction to the hydrocortisone suppositories,

and my entire rectal and lower vulvar area are bright

red. My doc took me off the suppositories and I'm

not supposed to use my new medication for a couple of

days, to give my skin a break. I'm off to take a

baking soda sitz bath right now. Are we having fun

yet??? LOL

Keep us up-to-date. It's so interesting seeing what

kinds of therapy other women are getting.

It's also great that your PT takes the time with

I have to laugh. Before I had thease stupid problems I knew NOTHING about

my anatomy down there. I cant belive how ignorant I was. Now going to the

PT I am finding out that there is even MORE stuff I dont know.

I guess my mom was right...the older you get the less you know.

I am really sorry to hear about your reaction to the hydrocortosone

supossitorys. The cream always worked better for me, but I suspect it was

probably the hydrocorersone you reacted to. Hopefully the doctor will come

up with another solution for you.

Good luck with YOUR PT:)

I have to laugh, too, . I *never* used to

look at myself " down there " and was pretty clueless as

to exactly what *was* down there. Now, I get out that

mirror (a magnifying mirror, at that!) and look

around, hold things open, apply creams, etc., all in a

day's work, you know what I mean? How far we have

come! (You should have seen what I had to go through

to get a good look at my rear end, however!! We're

talking contorsions here. LOL)

My doc is switching me to nitro ointment, which I

*hope* will work! But I can't try it for a couple of

days until my soreness is somewhat better. I am still

pretty sore from the hydrocortisone. It's weird how I

was OK for a few days and then BAM, I was burning and

red, all at once. Oh, well.

Take care.

Good luck with the nitro cream Suzy, I hope that works better for you. I've

had the fissures and I know how bad they can be.

I sit on the bath mat and hold a mirror between my feet while I apply

estrace.

The funniest was when I asked my husband to have a look and he went and got

a flashlight.
