Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I had a hearing today with MCARE (the HMO the University of Michigan uses) to appeal their decision to deny covering pelvic floor pt, they have already voted I am sure, but I won't find out for a few days, so pray it was the right one...Anne p.s. Has anyone had success with Physical therapy?? Any experiences you could share would be helpful, I have tried elavil, imiprinine, paxil, and neorontin (just for a few weeks with this one) and nothing has helped so this may be my last effort before asking for a referrel to Haefner to look into surgery --On Tuesday, April 25, 2006 11:21 PM -0700 Kristy Sokoloski wrote: > Anne and , > > I just wanted to remind both of you ladies that lidocaine can be > compounded in to a base that won't make you as uncomfortable. > > Also, with this condition it's a good idea to drink lots of > water to help the concentration of the urine as this (the > concentration of the urine) can bother the vulva making the > vulvar pain even more difficult to deal with. > > Also, which brand of lidocaine 5% ointment were you given?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I had some success with PT, reduced my pain by about l/4. Is your pain solely pelvic floor related? Mine isn't. You don't say whether you've tried estrace or testosterone topical creams. Have you tried topical prudoxin, or topical amitryptilene or topical neurontin?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Topically I have only tried the 2% lidocaine jelly with no results, and then last week the 5% ointment that really irritated the area, so I plan on looking into compounding, my doctors havn't suggested anything else, I have mostly vestibulitis, but since the 5% ointment the minora lips are irritated with any touch and I'm afraid it might be getting to be worse than my normal vvs, Anne in MI --On Tuesday, May 02, 2006 6:18 PM -0400 Dusty wrote: > I had some success with PT, reduced my pain by about l/4.
