WW Posture

Body: 

Have been trying to do the WW posture, however, I wonder if I am doing it right, cos, I keep getting hot burning sensation in my lower tummy and feel like I am walking like a duck!! I also can't help tensing my buttocks all the time. Also when sitting I feel like I am squashing all my bits down below which seems to make that burn and sore too. What on earth am I doing wrong.

My doctor has put me on a course of oestregon pessaries, and says if I don't feel any better by the middle of this week he can fit a pessary, for my holiday. Not sure what to do, will a pessary make things worse?

Good gracious I just wish I could feel normal again.

no it won't make things worse and will probably give you relief and you will be glad to have it for your holiday. Here's the thing though, they don't work for everyone and there is some tweaking that goes into it so it may take time to find the right one for you. It will also take a little while to get yourself coordinated to be able to take it in and out. Some women have issues with pessary and full bowels. You have to try it to know.
Keep reading here about the posture. Have you had a look on youtube? There is a wholewoman channel. Check it out.

I remember feeling the same as you when I first found this site.Posture made a big difference, rest like for an injury and like CSF had to, can make a big difference while you are healing to get to that no pain place.Keep your abdomen clothing loose ie no jeans or trousers or pantyhose or leggings that squash or compress you in any way eg I avoid jeans now, unless they are really stretch and comfy. Same with tight pantyhose and I would inlcude tight bras here too, I have discarded 2 today that make me feel harnessed. The more comfortable you can feel , the better you will feel. Avoid seats which aggravate, eg at the moment I prefer our couch chairs with a small cushion at my lower back, but sit on a soft cushion on our dining chairs.
Eat healthily, avoid artificial drinks and additives in your food. I think our bodies get more sensitive, so we can thank our Pops for getting us healthier , in the long run :-)
I had a particularly painful and uncomfortable weekend , earlier this year, after blowing up some balloons(I posted about it here) and then going away soon after on a motorbike trip.Not pleasant, but I managed it by wriggling around to find the best position and then rolling a jacket and sitting on it.I leant forward , keeping the curve in my back and my chest out.I hope this just gives you ideas to work on.Good luck and rest as much as you can.Lie down too.Took some panadol too.

Some cross-legged sitting might help to stretch your buttocks. Muscles that are not strong will not respond properly. Perhaps your buttocks are weak? I used to clench my buttocks all the time, as a part of tucking my butt under and making my tummy look flatter, so they never got to relax and stretch out. They don't get nearly so tense these days.
