Thanks Kathi,

I am only a week and a half into the pelvic floor but have to say I was surprised.

A month or so back I was up all night with pelvic pain and pain up and down my lower right side and I was in tears. I thought oh no a cyst or perhaps the endometriosis was back.

SO I went to the gyn and explained the pain. He said no way the endo was back but he felt around on the outside and tried to find the pain. He could find it but then when he was internal with the exam he pressedon a spot and I almost jumped off the table and was like yeah thats it what is it a cyst. I swear it even affected me gastro wise.

He was like nope its a very bad muscle spasm in your levator ani muscle and other muscles in the area.

Now I have a small to moderate disc bulge at L5/S1 but the doc said it does not look like there is pain from it so I ruled it out as the source of my pain.

BUt boy was I surprised that it was a muscle problem not a female problem. Although I do think the hormones aggravate the area sometimes.

But yep pelvic floor who would have thunk it.
