frequency

Post by calguy »

it seems like none of you old school guys had problem with frequency? If Maybe we just have oab or prostititus causing frequency? Did anybody fix frequency with SP and working on pelvic muscles. Found a good PT but dont want to waste money if itwill not help.
Age 32, onset 32 Onset Aug 07- frequency was main problem in the beginning-really bad. Now 1 to 2x per night when frequency flairs up. Sore and tight lower abdominal muscles. Occasional burning after bowel movement and full feeling. What helps: Healthy diet(this is huge for me) Started drinking super greens supplament and almost going totally vegetarian to get body more alkaline, starting Prosta-Q, quercetin/zinc tablet in morning helped frequency problem I believe. Massaging abs and doing stretches helps calm down frequency when it is acting up. Wine or vodka after long day. Flexeral and melatonin at night. Swimming and light weights. .5 of Elavil every other day helps with frequency and healing process. Trying to stay positive and not stressing over this!

Frequency is still still my most dreaded flare symptom. When I get pain it is always accompanied by frequency - but I could handle the pain on its own if it didn't make me frequent.
