Or do you need to be seen at Mayo first?

I am in contact with a Physical Therapist nearby who treats Pelvic Floor dysfunction. I will hopefully be trying this soon. And part of it will be covered by insurance. I will go into debt for any relief for this!

Unfortunately, there are no guarentees that it will work, as there are other things going on that contribute to my pain and constipation.

Have you thought about just finding a Physical therapist in your area that treats pelvic floor dysfunction. I could give you the name of someone who might know of people in your area.

What is the Pain Rehabilition Program? Are these two separate programs? Please post info or send me an email at deerbeth@yahoo.com. I am very interested in this Alisa. Thank you so much!

Hi Beth,

I believe you must be seen at MAYO first before being admitted into their pelvic floor retraining program. Yes, there are two separate programs - one for pelvic floor retraining and one for chronic pain management. They are quite expensive, and since insurance varies from provider to provider, I'm not sure how much is covered. I know that my family's insurance does not cover much of the cost. I do know of a pain center in Neenah, WI, which is about a fifteen minute drive from where I live. I'm going to get a referral from my OBGYN next week to visit that pain clinic. They have a nutritionist, physical therapist, psychiatrist, and other doctors on staff, so it seems like a great collaboration for people in pain like us. I'll email you about the MAYO programs.

I hope you are feeling better - I'm doing much better this week, although I'm having trouble with nausea.

-Alisa
