Help me be more understanding

March 30, 2011 1:08 PM

My husband has pelvic pain syndrome. He is in intense pain and has been housebound for about 5 weeks. He can only get comfortable when he is lying down in bed which is where he spends most of his time. Have you ever had this syndrome and can you tell me about your experience? Help me be more understanding and compassionate.

If you MeMail me your location, I will find you a physical therapist in your area who specializes in pelvic floor issues. There is a book available called Heal Pelvic Pain that many find helpful as well.
