I had physical therapy again today. Apparently things seem to be getting better. But I wish I could feel the results more. Just a little something to keep me going.
It's been exactly a year since I started going to PT in New York. I understand I've been through a lot and come a long way, but I was hoping for better results after a year.
This might have a lot to do with the fact that I'm getting off steroids from my tonsillitis, but just tired and feel very alone tonight. I wish I had answers.
I was a chronic pelvic pain patient who wrote about my health struggles for 7 years. After successful treatment and returning to school, I am about to become a women's health physical therapist. Some estimate 5% of women as well as millions of men will experience pelvic pain in their lifetime, yet they are under-researched, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. In the midst of rapidly evolving medical discoveries and technology, priority needs to be given to pelvic pain.

Hi Tamra,
I just read this blog and am sorry that you were feeling so down and alone. I can certainly empathize with that feeling.
Just wanted to offer my support. You're not alone.
I admire your courage through all this mess. If anyone can get through this, you can!
Thinking and praying for you! :)
