Hi Amanda:

I see a physical therapist for pelvic floor dysfunction as well. I had some tests done by a colon rectal doc and he diagnosed me with non-relaxing anal sphincter. I never did the biofeedback, however, with the physical therapy exercises and changing my diet, I have had great success. I agree with Fen. If this is muscular, you really need a PT. With that said, a good pelvic floor PT is hard to come by. The first one I went to several times really did not have a clue. I then began my own search for someone who knew what she was doing. A womens clinic usually has a specialist in pelvic floor dysfunction. I have one who is unbelievable....I have learned more from her than any GI doc around. Physical therapy is not an overnite fix, but it can work. If you like you can e-mail me at sdmielke@yahoo.com and I would be happy to share what I have learned over the past 8 months. Most importantly, make sure your physical therapist understands your problem and has been trained in this area.

Best of luck.
Sharon
