FYI-- thanks. I see weekly an obgyn specialist
(http://www.secretsuffering.com/about/dr-echenbergs-full-bio/) in
chronic pelvic pain who has me giving me illionguinal nerve block shots
& had me go to trigger point physical therapy. obgyn#2 who did my pap,
2 days later told me my obgyn #1 is a "quack" & I need to see a gastro.
I just was getting nervous-- thanks for mentioning the trigger point
thing. It makes me feel better about my current long term treatment
plan.
thanks
Diane
