Wow Wow WOW😢 Thank you so much. You have me looking for a Physical Therapy Pelvic Floor therapist in my area Union County NJ. Thank you so much. ❤ Blessings
You explained perfectly what happened to me! Best description of my current situation so far... Thank you for sharing this. Any other suggestion about how to fight the pain besides pelvic floor pt?
Pelvic floor pt is always our first recommendation! At least one check up post op, to ensure you are healing correctly and have a few tools in the toolbox to address any other occuring pain. Otherwise we suggest following what your surgeon and/or healthcare team suggested to you ❤️
Searching for some relief I had a full hysterectomy last fall and two weeks after my full hysterectomy I noticed that my tailbone was hurting. Also I had what's been endometriosis that even spread the part of my intestine. With the full hysterectomy they were able to remove about 90% of my endometriosis but there was a small amount that was still in my intestines. But shortly after my full hysterectomy I noticed my tailbone started bothering me and here we are almost September of the following year and I'm still dealing with this tailbone pain. I've been in physical therapy since May with barely any relief. So I've tried physical therapy, I've had X-rays of my tailbone area, I've used ice, heat a tens unit and I carry around a cushion donut that I sit on. Again I noticed this tailbone pain about a week week and a half out from my full hysterectomy. I'm at my wits end. My physical therapy is almost up as I'm getting minimal relief from it. My next step would be injections into my tailbone which I am apprehensive about because I have chronic foot pain and about 7 years ago I tried an injection in that and the pain relief didn't last a full 24 hours. So here I am with this tailbone pain desperate to sort it out and to get some relief. IDK what to do anymore if anyone has some insight they want to shed some light on my situation it would be greatly appreciated.
We are sorry to hear of your trouble. Does the physical therapy include manual therapy to the pelvic floor muscles but also external manual therapy to the muscles of the pelvic girdle? These issues are rarely localized to just the pelvic floor and external techniques need to be included. It may make sense to get a second opinion from a different pelvic floor physical therapist. It sounds like you may have also seen a pain management doctor if you are talking about injections, these can be helpful in some cases. Some of our patients have consulted with Dr. Patrick Foye, he is an expert on tailbone pain: tailbonedoctor.com/. We hope this helps, if you live near one of our clinics we would be happy to give you a second physical therapy opinion.
The BEST description of my lived experience I’ve heard. THANK YOU. It’s daunting but knowledge is so important.
We are so happy this resonated with you! Please take care!

I should've stayed with my physical therapy. I just felt like I was taking up space & didn't deserve or belong.
You always deserve to be pain free (or as pain free as possible). We hope you return to pt, you are deserving of care/treatment!
