Physical therapy for pelvic pain

I have just been referred to a physical therapist for cronic pelvic pain,My OB/GYN seems to think i'm having pelvic spasms,keeping me in almost constant pain. Has anyone had any luck with their pain after seeing a PT? My first appt is on wed, and i'm a little curious about what to expect. Thank you

Good luck!  I've experienced pelvic pain and after ruling out any type of infection my gyno was stomped for 7 months.  Mine turned out to be because of oral birth control which is extremely rare, but we would notice that every time I tried oral contraceptives is when my bladder started to flare.  The pain got so bad and nothing helped.  You could have a condition called intersticial cystits which is chronic pelvic pain which there is no cure for.  There is diet changes that can be made such as limiting caffene and alcohol which actually can overactivate the bladder.  Theres also medication to help with the pain and I would even ask for a muscle relaxant to help with it.  Oww so awful.    Pelvic pain can be a big mystery if infection has been ruled out.
