A Glimmer of hope? Inversion table

Hello ladies. For some reason I have had some pain free days this month. I really don't know why. The pain/burning was at a level one during ovulation. It crept back up while on my period and days after but those few days were such a relief I had to tell you all! All I have been doing for months is taking a multivitamin, washing the vulva with only water, deep breathing, rinsing with water after urinating, stretching exercises, lying on an inversion table 3 times a day, taking aveeno oatmeal baths and trying to think positive. I keep telling myself I will be pain free one day and this will go away as quickly and suddenly as it came.
I would like to ask if anyone else has tried an inversion table. The first time I used it I knew I was stretching muscles/tendons I had never stretched before. I felt a stretch in the psoas muscles, inside my vagina, lower abdominal muscles and even the labia felt like they were stretching. I don't know what if any of these things have helped. Just thought I would share. I still think mine was caused by a bacteria or virus that damaged the nerves and the muscles tightened up to guard from the pain. I'm no scientist but thats my feeling! Still waiting to see a specialist. I hope you are all having a pain free day! Thanks for listening!

So glad to hear you have had some pain free days!

I always find period time and just after, the time I am most likely to get a flare up!

Umm...I don't actually know what an inversion table is?

Is it something you can use at home?

Thank you Sebby! Yes, you can buy an inversion table online. You lie on your back on it with your feet secured and hang upside down. My husband purchased it for his back. I decided to give it a try and was surprised at the stretch I felt in those areas.

Might want to try that myself....thank you for your suggestion

Yes thank you, I will deff be looking into that as I also get back problems. I have noticed my lower back has been quite painful the last few days. This is after my flare up a few weeks ago.

I bend down to pick something up or wash my hair and have to get back up slowly like I am in my 90's! I'm only 32!lol

Gonna have a look at pics of this table, hanging upside down sounds a bit scary tho  lol

Ive always wanted an inversion table for my back pain. I think Im going to buy one now. I know that my pudendal nerves are probably pinched because of the way I have to sit because of my vagina pain. This only cause the nerves to get more pissed off. Also, when your in pain, you tend to tighten your muscles, so this Inversion table may help a lot of us.

Thanks for letting us know. hugs

Amazing! I am so glad you are feeling better! It is so great to hear women fighting through this and having good days as opposed to feeling alone and in pain. I wish you many more pain free days!

Hello ladies!  If you do try the inversion table just take it slow.  I started out just lowering my head slightly.  I could feel the stretch with just that slight recline.  I don't spend a long time in the recline either just long enough to do a few deep breaths and to relax through them.  Thank you for your encouragement and support!  I wish you all pain free days!  Thanks for the laughs BPCookie:D some of your posts have made me laugh out loud!  Thank you Ringo:D  Hanging upside down is really kind of fun Sebby. And it is relaxing for me.  There are warnings for people who have high blood pressure, eye disease and heart disease.  Just check it out before you use it.

At the risk of being a party pooper anyone with stability issues should not use an inversion table until they are stable.  That is all!
