Just wondering if anyone has this symptom and was able to get relief with abx treatment.
Im pretty sure lyme or co's is the cause, but it could also be some sort of structural problem going on as well.
thanks

I have extreme pelvic pain. Cramping & spasms & other odd issues. Incredibly painful though...
Once years back I was put on Doxy for about 3 wks when I was having a severe attack. My uterus was protruding & hard. The abx actually helped in that time.
Sorry i dont have more to say...

Yes, I had this and could hardly move or walk, and this was approx two years before I found out I had Lyme.
All I knew is I had just flunked physical therapy. It was in desperation that I put myself in the swimming pool with a torso float around me and snorkle and mask so I wouldn't have to turn my head or hold myself up and ordered myself to start moving.
It took nine months of at least once a week stretching - like unraveling a tangled ball of yarn - you start from the outside and work in - that's what the stretch work felt like to me.
Do any stretch you can. Find as many as you can. I think there are something like 35 muscles attaching in to the pelvic area. That means a lot of different kinds/directions of stretching.
At first it hurt a lot, so do it a little at a time if you try for this.
Then as the weeks go by, you'll be able to stretch the muscles more and more.
I knew I was onto a therapy when the pain started going down by the end of the first month.
Think about it - no blood circulation in those tight muscles. Build-up of lactic acid, etc.
I rehabilitated myself - able to walk, move, be without pain - all a year and a half before I found out I had Lyme.
Now I do swimming once a week, with stretching and laps. I still wear a snorkle and mask but don't need the torso float anymore.

I have this as well and have found some relief through physical therapy. I see a therapist who specializes in pelvic floor dysfunction.
My LLMD thinks it is bartonella and I have not treated that yet.
