Re: PT Second Round (long) Carol

[Guest guest]

Hi Carol,

I have Dysesthetic vulvodynia. I am unable to take any of the meds

and so this is my last hope of pain free in the nether regions. I

also have LS with fusing and think that contributes to the pain even

though the LS is under control. Tend to have pulling in that area. I

do the kegels about 5 times an hour, consentrating on the " melting " .

I also have to watch my posture and do the stretching exercises. I

have noticed a slight decrease in pain and so will stick with it in

the hopes of eventually being pain free or almost. Phew, it is a lot

of work. Will be happy to answer any questions, I can, for you.

Hi Ruth: Thanks. what do the stretching exercises consist of

doing ?

Are you doing the kegels sitting, standing ? I was told also to sit

up against the wall, on the floor, with a mirror and to insert a

thumb in there and do the contract, release exercise (with

lubrication of course). This trains the pelvic floor to relax.

I can do the kegels in any position I choose. Gads, couldn't imagine

doing them like you do every hour! The stretching exercises are for

the periformis, intercoastals (SP) groin and inner hanstrings. Groan,

have to do another set before I go to bed. Actually this set I will

do in bed!
