Constipation and Sacral Nerve Stimulation?

Thank you for sharing your experience with pelvic floor PT. I have felt like a huge failure because I could also not coordinate my muscles as they should. I guess a lifetime of doing it wrong makes reversing it much more difficult. I have an appointment in January regarding the sacral nerve stimulation. First I need to address chronoc internal hemorrhoids in a few weeks with the colorectal surgeon. I hope I make it to the appointment, they are getting worse :(.

@jlstjohn - no problem. I remember leaving the last pelvic floor therapy appointment feeling very down, like I'd failed a class or something. I guess another way to look at it is that the therapy failed me - it just didn't work for me. It ultimately all turned out okay. I had prolapse surgery, which is what I really needed, anyway.
You mentioned dealing with hemorrhoids. Those are painful. I wanted to point out that you might check out other Mayo Clinic Connect discussions on this topic so you can see what others have dealt with and what has given them relief:
