recommend a doctor in new york city?

Post by otherwiseread »

i've seen 3 urologists, but all the pills and appointments had 0 results.. Should I see a different type of specialist- i've been reading on this website about physical therapy and trigger point,, this is competely new to me..As I understand this is a competely different type of a doctor and treatment as compared to a regular urologist? Can you recommend a doc in NYC? What kind of bill am I looking at? how many treatments to feel better?

OK, too lazy to change my signature, but my sympoms have improved significantly, some went away competely. Old sig below.

Age: 27 | Onset Age: 23 | Symptoms: differ from year to year, anal/buttocks pain(especially when moving around/walking), burning when pee every once in a while, muscle tightness after peeing, sometimes but rarely burning after,, but no urgency , i pee about 4-5 times a day. Stomach bloating, hard to pass gas, occasional sharp pain in right side lower abs.

Helped By: alcohol(maybe i am wrong about this one,, helps some symtoms, possibly makes other symptoms worse), water, Beer always cures urethra pains/burning.
| Worsened By: showers, defecation, massage?, stress, winter, early spring, Snapple diet iced tea?.

Makes no difference: sitting(try putting something under back legs of your chair to tilt it slightly), masturbation(2-3 times a day usually),(update, now down to 1-2 times a day), used to ride bike without a seat on for 4 hours some days 3-4 days a week- no problem, spicy foods - no problem, 3-4 cups of black tea a day- no problem

Yes, see a PT for the pelvic floor, in NY there are a few, I think the best is a woman, I think her name is Marilyn Freeman, something like that.

Purchase AHIP and read front to cover, see my other post to your previous post.

i did have a copy of that book but I lost it somewhere, maybe I need to buy another one..that Freeman sounds familiar , I think I have read about her on this board before.. She must be pretty busy with patients and charging a fortune, do you think there is a chance she will see me?
