Guest guest Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Arline, Yes there is a reason muscles spasm and I think I got the reason today. I finally explored the urogynecologist route to rule out the potential for IC. So I went to highly respected womens hospital in Pittsburgh (McGee Womens Hospital) and the woman doctor I saw told me I have vestibulitis and thats why my muscles are spasming. So why the two "specialists" I saw in the MD area don't think I have it is confusing. She did the q-tip test and it hurt like hell. One of the doctors I saw in land, said my vestibule pain was due to my pelvic floor muscles spasming and it was a referred pain to the vestibule- suggested baths, valium and pt (no nerve pain meds). The other specialist in land, told me again, not vestibulitis- but vulvodynia (not sure why because all my pain is in the vestibule area) anyway, he recommended the topical concoction that I mentioned in previous emails with the E & T in it and cymbalta. But today, when she told me vestibulitis, it all kinda made sense, driving home I was in such pain from the q-tip test, that Im sure now that this pain causes my muscle spasms and not vice versa as the one doctor diagnosed. So, with that being said, Im more confused than ever lol! But she put the lidocaine on the vestibule area and re-did the q-tip test and I had no pain there. So, to me, it kinda indicates that no this is not referred pain from the muscles since the lidocaine masks the pain there- does that make sense?? Please anyone feel free to comment, I am so darn confused right now C Stay up to date on the latest news - from sports scores to stocks and so much more.
