Thank you for the tip Violet - I have tried ice in the past (but only externally) and it never seemed to help me unfortunately. The good news is that the increased pain from the vaginal injection I had is finally resolving I think. :) But it has made me wary of any kind of injections. angiemcs - I t...

Thank you so much everyone for your wonderful input! I have a lot more to think about than I initially realized regarding the botox injections. Sometimes I feel even more confused about what to do! It's a difficult decision since you never know the outcome until you try. The past 48 hours have been ...

so glad to hear that Jamie! (big sigh of relief)

Thank you so much everyone - this is why I love this forum so much!! My doctor suggested finding a postpartum support group, but you guys are my support group! Even though I've only been a member for such a short while, I feel so close to many of you. You guys have been my PN family! Especially at a...

Aw, thanks Lernica! I've been here! - on the forum everyday reading old posts and trying to learn as much as I can about PN and my options. Just haven't been posting since I feel like I'm in a holding pattern. Although I did try acupuncture and am restarting PT so I'll post about those soon. Been ta...

Oh no! I'm so sorry about your negative reaction Jamie! I just posted about botox since I had my appt with Dr. Jordan today and he was recommending botoxing my mucles next week. Now I'm worried... Do you know which muscles were botoxed? Hope your symptoms go away soon :( Do a lot or people have bad ...

Hi Everyone!! Wanted to give an update about my first appt with Dr. Sheldon Jordan in Santa Monica today. My 1st real interaction with a doctor who is PN-aware. And I would love to get people's input on his diagnosis and treatment plan. :D Just to recap, I had a very traumatic delivery with vacuum a...

Keep us posted Jamie! I'm interested in seeing what your doctor says. Is he a neurologist? I've seen so many types of docs all with different theories/advice. Hope you're doing well!

Thank you so much A's Mommy! Yes I gave pianogal a call last night and I look forward to speaking with her soon! I'm sure she has a wealth of knowledge and can share her experiences about doctors and treatment in Southern California. I would have called her a lot sooner but the past few days have be...

Thank you so much A's Mommy. It has been so hard dealing with all this pain from PN and trying to care for a newborn the best I can. It's been devastating emotionally and very hard at times to cope. I admire you for your strength through all of this. How are you doing post-op from your TG surgery? I...
