Male/cacasian/35yr I got mine 9 days ago. So far no changes what-so-ever. My pelvic floor is apparently made of steel.

Any changes? Hope you are doing well

@@mikeyvieira1016 - My original hypothesis was an achalasia (tightening) of the recto-sigmoid sphincter which is just above the pelvic floor region. After the botox didnt work I got a "functional MRI Defecography" performed where they record a short MRI video while you try to expel radio opaque gel. From that data I can see VERY clearly that stool is stopping at the rectosigmoid sphincter. Unfortunately this is still not considered a real thing by the medical community yet so i'm having a difficult time convincing my surgeon to inject botox into that sphincter to see if symptoms improve. Technically there is no official treatment for this condition because the medical community doesnt yet believe there is a sphincter at that location. This, despite numerous medical studies over the last 150yrs suggesting it is the primary continent mechanism. I have an in person visit with my surgeon this morning to present facts and logic in the hopes she'll concur with my findings and want to help. I'm not holding my breath. I'm probably going to need to find another surgeon....4 or 5 at the same time might speed things along 🤔.

How did this go almost a year out? I've been having pt 2x a week since mine and the injections have made a huge difference in relaxing my pelvic floor. Its been about 6 weeks and symptoms have been constantly changing but generally getting better. Nearly pain free and bladder symptoms gone and post BM pain nearly gone too. My PT said that the muscles are really responding differently since the injections and she's really hopeful it will lead to permanent solution. Meaning that my pelvic floor will learn to calm the heck down now that I've had sugergy to remove what was causing problems for so long and we are now teachign the muscles to not guard all the time.

How long pain relief did you get?

[@Isthatthebaris]

How are you now? Is it work ?

[@charlottejewkes9792]

It actually has helped a ton! It is night and day difference. There is still tightness, but the nerve pain is gone. So I’ll be doing it every 3 months now

Thank you for answering I'm going to have Botox injections in my pelvic floor this coming Monday. I'm in a lot of pain right now. It's very painful. May the botox injections work for me too.🥹

@@charlottejewkes9792What specific type of nerve pain sensations were you having prior to the Botox procedure, please? Could you describe them? And was it because they pulled the muscles around your vaginal wall too tight as part of your rectal surgery? I have genitourinary atrophy and my vaginal nerve burning and “sparking” has not improved despite 3 yrs of trying vaginal estrogen, testosterone and DHEA. I feel very hopeless. I don’t want Botox, but was wondering if a nerve block injection like the Marcaine injections I’ve had in my spine would help calm things down. I would not have any type of procedure down there without some type of sedation that’s for sure!
