I just had my first PT session

[PikkuMyy]

WOW!

I was amazed at how many muscle knots and trigger points I had all over my lower back, gluteous maximus, upper thighs, abdomen, etc. She did some external massage after the exam, which was painful but felt really good when she stopped.

She did an internal exam and massage through my rectum and I was amazed at how certain spots that she touched made me feel like I was in a HUGE flare while others made me feel like I had to pee.

I felt awful, psychologically, because feeling that way brought back how I feel when I'm in a flare. But as soon as she stopped, those emotions and physical feelings stopped too.

I'm really excited about doing this because I can see how much it is going to help me. Talking to her made me realize how many symptoms of PFD I have, and how I exacerbate it at my job.

Hooray!

Good for you Pikku. I hope you continue to see/feel results. I hope I do also when I go back to see my PT.

Great news!! :)

Thanks for sharing your experience. I read it with interest because I am going to be starting PT for PFD on my uro's recommendation in the next few weeks, so I am curious as to what to expect. I hope I have as much luck as you do!
