Thanks OMB. Hugs back to you. My physio is trying to do what she can but I'm really not sure if she is helping at all. It seems that messing with my pelvic floor is really messing with my BMs, which then injures my incision site. Today was especially bad. No blood but it hurts while it's coming out and that side feels very tight as it passes by. Then the pain and tightness can be with me the rest of the day
Do you have pain with your BMs still?
I really feel like I don't know what to do and am really scared that this is how life if going to be now, which I just cannot accept. I called my CRS's office again today and nothing has opened up so I am waiting until July 8th to see him.
Trigger point injections are when the Doctor injects an anesthetic solution into the tight bands of muscle and it is thought to cause it to relax. Over time the muscle should become more softer and functional. The needle is longer and thicker than in acupuncture.
My CRS has largely dismissed my lack of healing as me being a redhead or 'being special'. I don't have the typical reaction and outcome for things (like botox and then I got the infection from the LIS) so that's what he blames it on. But in my last appointment he said I would heal slower because I had two surgeries in the same spot and also that I may bleed from the last surgery on and off for years because it was a large area and the new skin is very delicate. That was a surprise to hear!
