Who woulda thunk it-Physical Therapy helps??!!!!

I've been attending physical therapy for a few months now, and I can't believe the difference it's making!  I just finished a period that was only three days long (which is probably b/c of Yaz and the fact that I just had one a month ago-highly unusual for me, but the hubby is finally coming home to me in a couple weeks, so gotta have max pain free time once he gets back!!), and only pain for two days!!!  I can't remember the last time I was so lucky!!!  Well, I know luck has nothing to do with it really.  I've been doing exercises to help stretch the abdomen, which strangely seem to help.  They were all recommended by my p.t. but a lot of them were yoga poses-child's pose, cobra, upward dog, the half wheel or whatever you call the deal that leads for people who can do it into a backbend (who the hell can do that after they pass the age of ten anyway?  Besides the people on my fav Indie Yoga DVD anyway).  Those and several pelvic tilt exercises, paired with my TENS unit, and I'm a pretty happy camper!
