Hi Jess,

Basically it was lumbar, sacral and coccyx nerve issues and/or nerve damage. But the symptoms were much like you said...constipation, extreme difficulty sitting for more than 10 minutes. I remember driving to my first appointment ALMOST crying from it and just dying to get out my car. Anyway, long story short...I went through a LOT of testing done by my Urogyn and spinal injections done by my spinal PM and THEN went into PT. I think the worst of it based on what the PT said was the Levator Ani muscle and then of course I had the Piriformis muscle compressing the sciatic nerve. So, she did internal as well as external work.

I can definitely understand going once a week for now and I know it is pretty uncomfortable afterwards. But it should pass. For me it seemed like two or three days so I also understand taking the medication. It is not a pleasant thing to go through but well worth it. Hang in there.
