It was a well known specialist, yes. I have been doing the endo diet
for a few months and that does help, but the pain is still there. I am
also supposed to start physical therapy for pelvic floor muscle spasms,
hoping that helps too. Wondering if insurance covers acupuncture? And I
just started yoga again this week. I try to walk for 30 minutes a day,
but it hurts and is still really tiring.
What's the difference between muscle relaxants and pain killers? I am
currently on oxycontin and percocet.
Thanks.
