physical therapy

[Guest guest]

I tried physical therapy in December, 2007.

There is a muscle called " levator ani " that is part (all?) of the

pelvic floor. It holds all your insides in.

My therapist ( Felix at UNC) said that I had part of this muscle

that was like wood. She assured me that stretching it would help.

I believe her but every time that muscle is " disturbed " it sets off

pain that lasts for days. I believe the nerves in that muscle are

particularly damaged and over-reactive.

I have been massaging the muscle with my " Evibra " vibrator. It is a

vibroator that is like a bulb on a stick. (Sorry if this is gross, LOL)

I am going to start physical therapy again with a new therapist,

Briggs, at CAWH in Raleigh. ( Felix was not a nurturing

person and she did not understand how serious things are for me)
