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.

of their freedom.
How do they learn it?
They fall, and falling,
they are given wings."

Please hold, your call is important to us.
I feel like my life has been put on hold these past few weeks. I started my job, and have since been to Boston, Milwaukee, and now finally in my new home of Denver, CO. Surprise! I moved halfway across the country. Except not entirely. The Mile High City is great, I'm just still living out of a suitcase and crashing on a couch until I find an apartment. (Great time for anyone living in Denver in need of a housemate to speak up.) Health has been put on the back burner until I am settled. I have two names for physical therapists in the area and will try calling them by the end of the week, so I can continue with hip PT. I'm also researching specialists in the area (let me know if you have any information.) The hardest thing I'm finding right now is balancing my new job with my health. I'm working long hours, but I need to find the time to do this. I'm so eager for this to be over with. I have been feeling pretty good the past couple of weeks, but I know there's a lot of work left to do. I think the most difficult part of moving for me is not having a solid connection with anyone in the area. Don't get me wrong, I've already fallen in love with the mountains. But no one here knows about me or what I'm going through, and now I have to go through the process all over again of telling people. Eventually. Hopefully. Maybe not. Please hold.
