Sure thing, @bouli. I am encouraged to hear pelvic floor therapy is an option for you.

I did have an anal manometry test a few years ago that led me to my initial therapy, and then a couple of months ago with some follow-up. My understanding is there can be problems with strength and/or coordination. My testing showed dysfunction then therapy worked from there to confirm a problem with coordination, particularly not being able to completely relax in between tensing my muscles. I am happy to share anything that will help if you have more questions.

Have you heard anything about your testing?

Not yet, Janell. I had the test last February and now my gastroenterologist is requesting the records. As I’m sure you know, the wheels of our healthcare system move slowly.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I appreciate it!
