Blog post regarding PT
I wrote this letter after a lot of thinking that was stimulated by our wonderful discussions on this forum. It just got my critical thinking brain going again. So, here is the letter I wrote, with the intent and hope of getting a dialogue going. Once again, Charlie, Ezer, thanks for ganging up on me.
Got me working again.

Onset PN/PFD/centralized pain in Oct 06 after years of athletics,nursing career and dog training. PT for two years with improvement, now go for tune-ups and pain management. Stopped Cymbalta, was on M.S. Contin, then Kadian, and briefly Methadone for pain management, now off those meds and pain is well managed with Buprenorphine. Followed my pain management specialist.

Great work Cora.
Tried numerous medications as well as a long period of myofascial physical therapy combined with meditation/relaxation. My pelvic floor muscles are now normal and relaxed on exam ( confirmed by many Pelvic floor PTs) yet my pain remains the same. Also have intense leg pain. Deciding on next treatment.
Re: Blog post regarding PT
Wonderful letter, Cora. I'm anxiously awating the responses from PT's.
Thank you!
Warm regards,
Karyn
