is it usual that the symptoms can increase after a trigger point release session? Yesterday, I had my second treatment hoping that it will improve my situation, but instead the buring is stronger and the urge frequency is worse as well...
My PT treated a lot of trigger points in the abdomen and also in the inner pelvic.
What does this mean, when the situation gets worse after a treatment?
Should this get better after several sessions?
What are you doing for the urge frequency and the buring, respectively?
Thanx a lot!

Absolutely right
My symptoms always tend to get worse following physio. In fact, the worse and longer the symptoms are, the more progress I tend to make. At the start the increase in symptoms lasted up to 4-5 days following treatment. Now, 12 months on, they only increase slightly for 4-8 hours. You'll find that everyone is different though.

Your answers calm me down...
My symptoms are mainly urge frequency and the feeling that the whole area in the abdomen and especially in the urethra is irritated, like a beginning bladder infection.
Similar to some other reports my situation also gets worse with some food as fruits, tomatos, yoghurt, cream, alcohol, coffee and particularly sweets.
I started to do a treatment as identical as possible after the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol, but unfortunately I don't have any possibilities to get the tape for the paradoxical relaxations from Dr. Wise, since he doesn't want to sell them seperately, even though I've found a really good PT in Germany.
Could somebody tell me what the tape is about, so that I could possibly found another way to reach the same goal....?
Thanx for help!

Absolutely..that means it works.
The first four sessions will be tough, after which it will be an up and down.two steps forward one step back for around 12 to 20 sessions.
I now have around 40 in me, and it is to a point where it is more of me guiding the therapist than the therapist guiding me. Hopefully in a couple of months I will start doing the internal Theracane by myself and rely even less on the therapist.
One thing I do have to point out..just because you do not feel pain does not mean you do not have one. Sometimes I thought I was perfectly fine until the therapist went inside me and I ended up screaming. We are all chronic pain sufferers and sometimes our perceptions of pain are no longer that accurate. Also in a previos post the pain can also migrate to another set of related pelvic muscles and nerves.

With regards to relaxation I'd suggest reading this thread for some other suggestions.

Does Prelief help, only going to the toilet?
My burning sensation is 24/7 at the moment,
I only had slight burning when urinating (which the Prelief solved) so not sure about the 24/7 burning. Certainly worth trying though as it's non-prescription and pretty cheap.
