Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy??
I’ve had back pain and started pelvic floor physical therapy. She’s given me exercises with a yoga ball. It’s still early to see change.
Anyone Try Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy?
I went to gynecologist today for follow up and once again had very bad anxiety and discomfort during the exam. They only looked on outside vulva area since I cannot do a internal exam with speculum due to the pain I expereince. She said there was irritation and took a swab and said I may hage muscle spasms and brought up pelvic floor physical therapy. Has anyone ever tried that and did it end up helping you?
Physical therapy was a game changer for me with stage 4. It did not sound appealing at all in theory but I'm so glad I tried it as it really knocked down my near constant pain and cramps. I was even… read more
Anyone Have Pain After Hitting Their Abdomen Or Poking Themselves Really Hard By Mistake?
Has anyone ever bumped their abdomen into something, or accidentally poked yourself in the gut and then had pain? I'm trying to determine whether I've strained my ab or if it is my cyst acting up. I second guess myself a lot because I spent 4 months thinking my endo and cyst was an ab strain that wouldn't heal. However, this pain seems deep (not surface level), and I have to press hard on my stomach to feel it, as opposed to just pressing on the surface level muscle. It hurts when I'm biking… read more
Yes, when I went to physical therapy and lied flat on my back, I couldn't even raise my legs to 45 degrees. That's how tight my hamstrings were. I'd also have to roll out my IT band daily. I had… read more

Pelvic Physical Therapy?
Does anyone have any information on pelvic physical therapy? After a bunch of failed attempts to make sex not painful my doctor believes this is the last option. I have endo and vaginismus. Going to the gyno is already a horribly painful experience I can't imagine that physical therapy would be pleasant either.
There is also "Pelvic Floor Therapy" that is gaining some popularity these days. On top of having Endo, my specialist told me that 1/4 of my pain is from my pelvic muscles being so tight. (from… read more
Has Anyone Else Gotten The Surgery And Months Later Still In Pain Like In The Afternoon/evening?
If you didn’t try pelvic physical therapy afterward, I highly recommend giving that a try to see if that helps!

Endo Pain Advice
Hi, I’ve had severe pains this week, worse than I’ve ever experienced, even before my endo surgery. Ever since the pain has returned, I’ve had agonising pain to the point I had to leave my job because I couldn’t do certain tasks that was required, I feel sick all the time, I bleed between periods and then bleed for 2-3 weeks, I’ve been given more and more hormones but I feel worse. Heat helps, but I’m already so hot when my pain plays up. I haven’t been able to fully move myself out of bed… read more

Does Anyone Have Any Apps That Help With Endometriosis Or Diaphramatic Breathing Or Physical Therapy Exercises?
I have these physical therapy exercises on paper but it would easier to follow if they were on video I can download !
YouTube has a lot of videos like this-- search the name of the exercise. I've done this many times and it helps a lot.
