When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

prolapse=no pain
I have come to STRONGLY disagree with this idea of prolapse being painless. There are so many nerves all around that area and for me when my prolapse comes down I have intense pain.
Here is how I proved my theory. I had the help of my dh. he put increasing pressure on different areas inside my vagina and in some places even with small pressure he was able to send a shooting sensation down my leg and also up into my back.
So in my experience yes it hurts at times and the muscles can also spasm.
One way to check is does it hurt in the morning? If you have had a good restful sleep and wake up and it does not hurt then I think it could be pain from prolapse.

I agree
I have found over the last couple of weeks I get shooting pains in my va-j-j that I have never had before. With everything stretching in ways it is not supposed to its hardly surprising it hurts at times.
My rectocele has worsened recently and I find it is making things feel really swollen and sore.

pain in morning..
no, i wake up every morning in severe pain. as the day goes on and i walk more, the pain is less intense..
but that is groin pain, my entire pelvis hurts. the sharp vagina pain is different...it's sharp and intense and comes out of no where.
i was told recently by my doctor and a chiropractor that i may have herniated disc, and my sacroiliac joint is very messed up from giving birth. it is all misaligned still causing severe chronic pain.
i take the valium every day now for the spasms, but the percocet i'm scared of because of constipation..
sigh. i wish i knew why my pelvis hurt every morning. i feel like something is really wrong.
i'm afraid i'll wake up one day and not be able to walk.

cranial osteopathy
Hello Ihearted
If you are suffering as a result of misalignment and imbalances within the pelvis, I feel that cranial osteopathy could help with this. Please feel free to contact me if you need any more info on it. Am seeing a cranial osteopath myself for my prolapses and it has really helped with various symptoms.

Castor oil packs
I have had similar undiagnosable pain in the past, had ultra-sounds with no
clear explanation except my ovary was enlarged. But since I only have one,
it was speculated that the other enlarged to keep up with demands...
My frustration with conventional doc's explanation and lack of relief took
me to a naturopath who though equally mystified, reccomended castor-oil packs
over the area. It's very important that you use an unbleached or un-dyed wool
felt as the castor is a powerful vehicle and will literally bring the chemicals
into your body. It has a marvelous soothing and pain-relieving quality. A
bit messy but put saran wrap over the top and then some gentle heat and
with just a few sessions you'll be amazed at the healing relief.
I too have roving pain sometimes stabbing , and I admit to fears that more
supportive fascial connections are giving way. hope I'm wrong, but I always
stop and take a good break when they flare. Castor has such a healing quality
because it encourages circulation ! I've also used it for some carpal-tunnel
symptoms I was dealing with, but no longer...
I'm a bit worried about the severity and you're taking some pretty quickly
addictive pain-killers. Have you had a blood test to see if your white blood
count is elevated ? It would be very good to eliminate a Pelvic inflammatory
disease (infection) as soon as possible !
Take care - I'll be looking to see how you're doing ...

"Tenderness"
You may want to look up Castor Oil in the search field and then you will find a post headed "Tenderness" which I wrote. In there you will find instructions on how to do the Castor Oil packs as given to me by my Maya Massage Therapist.
Hope that helps.
