Pain in the butt - Can't sit down

I read with great interest all who admitted to pelvis type discomfort and pain. The book mentioned 'A headache in the pelvis' is a good read and available via the pubic library. There is a good Ted Talk on Utube by a pelvic floor physiotherapist. As a retired R.N. I was very skeptical that a physiotherapist could help me. I have seen gynecology, neurology, and urology all to no avail. The first pelvic therapist I went to actually did me more harm than good as she was certain that my pelvic floor needed to be tightened up with exercises. Wrong! I have come to understand that my pelvic floor needs to relax, and my new highly recommended physio has helped me. I am cautiously optimistic. There are some helpful pelvic exercises on Utube as well. Although I am far from being 'all better' I see small glimmers of hope from day to day. Essentric type exercises have helped too and I want to offer encouragement to all suffering with this quality of life issue. Don't give up, keep trying.

I saw a pelvic floor specialist too and each time I went to therapy I would be in worse pain than when I arrived. I will look into a physiotherapist and see if they can help. Thank you for your recommendation I really appreciate it. Not giving up just very frustrating chronic pain has definitely debilitated my ability to do anything. Thank again.

Same issues to the point of no entry intercourse and anal fissures that won't heal due to spasms and tight pelvic floor muscles.
