Hi! I started pelvic floor therapy 2 weeks ago for hip and back pain. The pain was caused by a very enlarged uterus (1,300 grams, average is 100 or less) and massive fibroids (multiple sizes but over 40 total). I had a hysterectomy in February.

Has anyone had success with back and hip pain from PFT? On the days that I have a flair up, the pain radiates down my leg to my ankle. I’ve been very uncomfortable for the past year and had hopes that the hysterectomy would alleviate all of this. I’m committed to the therapy but it would help to hear from others who have experienced similar symptoms.

Also my PT said my pelvic floor is very tense. Has anyone tried yoga or professional massages while also doing PT?
