Another PFD question....

Did your PT or Physio give you a time frame of how long it would take to heal you? I know everyone's physical issues are different, but curious as to how long the process is, or might be.

Hope everyone is having a minimal pain day

They probably won't tell you a time lol it's physical therapy everyone is different some can't be helped some respond right away

Hi Kathy,

No she hasn't so far. She found loads of trigger points in my back, hips and legs. The pain management consultant I see who referred me to her warned me it could be a "long, hard slog"! I have been 4 times & she was pleased with progress so she left a longer gap between sessions this time 3 weeks & the pain in my back & hips is flaring up again...I go back tomorrow.

With my additional connective tissue problem I've been told to expect it to be years rather than months. Most of the women I've spoken to who've recovered with physio have taken about 6-9 months of regular sessions and homework in between but as the others said it varies so there's no definite answer.

Thank you gals for responding. Can you ladies wear tampons comfortably or no?

Probably I could, but I choose not to its really disgusting to me. That shit is supposed to come out not stay in just not really hygenic to me if you really think about it. I don't want cotton shoved up there for hours at a time. Gross!

Not really but tampons tend to give me yeast infections anyway so I haven't used them regularly for years for that reason

Tampons are so disgusting not that sitting in a pool of blood is any better but really your body is shedding toxins and you're keeping them in yuck yuck yuck!!!! Sorry it just really grosses me out!

LOL Tell us how you REALLY feel Alana! I can't wear pads, so I have to use tampons, although they can be uncomfortable, the pads rub me raw

Sorry im pretty blunt lol try the natural pads you buy at wholefoods they may be better for you I hate having a period like really what part about being a girl doesn't suck Hmph my period tho Is light and only lasts about two days so I guess if it were longer is be rubbed raw too. Fucking pads (excuse my French) but why don't they come up with something that doesn't suck like for example a cure for periods? Can you tell I've thought about this for a while ger!

Lol They do have a cure, a hysterectomy! But that brings on more problems. I'd just be glad to have my periods as they are but before all this bullshit happened. I already told my friends not to complain about their cramps to me because I have no sympathy, or my friends who are married and complain about their hubby's wanting sex. I'd do anything to have that normalcy back.

Haha I just want a normal guy you'll figure it out tho

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Men can be ridiculous lol

I would kill for a hysterectomy, I want to sooooo badly you have no idea. I even went as far as skipping periods, but it's not a good idea as I develop boobie cysts. Being a woman SUCKS!

Seriously. I'm over it. I think what's annoying me more than anything now, is that this all started with sex with a new guy. He's walking around FINE right now and I've been suffering for the past 6 months AND he's a total jerk. (My fault for picking an A-hole)...lol Although it would be totally misplaced blame, I'd love to kick him in the balls, everyday for the next 6 months

Try reusable cloth pads. Far, far more comfortable than those horrible disposables. Washing them isn't that big a deal either.
