I am located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Our health care system here is painfully slow and we have very few people, including physios, that treat chronic pelvic pain. I am in a clinic program now that took me 2 years to get into...
The Doctor at this clinic is away until September but I will hopefully get to see her soon. Although, the problem with these things is that no one Doctor treats all these issues. In fact, I think my last one discharged me because she is a urologist and did not want to treat rectal issues anymore. This Doctor at the pain clinic is a gynecologist and the rectal stuff may be a stretch for her. My CRS will only treat the internal sphincter. I could get anal manometry done soon but I had it done before and ultimately amounted to nothing. I was not able to get the balloon out but there was no follow up after. Not to mention, with the current fissures I have would be a huge step back. No thanks.
