Pelvic floor spasms

No medication at all - no painkillers seemed to touch the pain either.  I’ve only had physio, but the physiotherapist has taught me how to massage my abdomen myself, paying particular attention to the area under my ribs, which works in tandem with the pelvic floor.  I also have regular internal physio ( once every 6 weeks) where she releases all the tight internal muscles.  She also encouraged me to use dilators and to move them around inside to massage the same muscles,  She recommended the Calextics Silicone Dilator Kit to be used with Yes water-based lubricant.  I have found that regularly doing pelvic floor exercises to release the muscles, as well as using the dilators has meant that I only get a spasm once every three or four months, which is a huge improvement.  

I really hope things will soon improve for you - it’s very early days, and you’ll get there.

Sorry, the dilator kit is CALEXOTICS, not calextics!  The physio said it was important that they were silicone and thus flexible, but I imagine any silicone kit would be fine.  
It’s probably too early for you to start using these though, so wait until the hospital have checked you out and then have a chat with your CNS or GP.

Thank you, yes really early days so struggling to do any exercises or even massage at the moment. Thanks for the information, I will certainly look into this once I’ve had my check up xxx
