It`s been a while since I posted. Still continuing to make progress which is great. I was just on vacation in Florida and picked up this handheld massager from Brookstone (Max percussion massager). It is absolutely wonderful in treating muscles in the inner thighs, abdomen and I can also work the perineum and sphincter.
You should definately give such a product a try. I know there are several of them om the market. Just make sure you get one of quality.
All the best!!!!

I'm curious, I went to Marilyn Freedman yesterday and mentioned I had one of those (its almost exactly the same). I asked her if thats good for external trigger points and she said no. I should've been more clear because maybe she meant that I still need to use the Theracane but the hand held wouldn't hurt, but I took it as it would maybe do harm.
Age 21.. | Symptoms: Extreme discomfort in bladder, and lower abdomen.. To the point that I can't sit still, and sleep, can't do anything.. The only that will help is getting into the bath... Urinary frequency, Urinary hesitancy, sometimes taking a few minutes to get just a little bit out.. Sometimes lower back pain when I lay down at night.. Never have the golf ball feeling everybody talks about, and never have a problem sitting down.. Helps: Hot baths, Xanax (but makes me extremely tired), stretching (it seems like only sometimes), pain killers (ex: Percocet, but if I take them, they end up making me worse the next days following, probably due to the urinary retention they cause).. Makes worse: Stress is the main main thing, caffeine and spicy foods too, but not really a whole whole lot.. only a moderate amount..
I have been using something like this for external points. I figured it couldnt hurt me. I do feel relaxed afterward as you would expect. I am thinking about getting a Theracane though to see if I can tell a difference.
