In Calgary,Alberta...Dr. magnus Murphy ia a practising urogynecologist. He has actually written a book about pelvic health called Pelvic Health and Childbirth by Magnus Murphy and Carol Wasson.
Thanks for your reply doctor. Are there any good urogynecologists and pelvic floor physio therapists you can recommend in Canada?

I don't have the same symptoms as you, but yes I'm currently seeing a pt 1x week for pelvic floor muscle dysfunction and it's helping.
Check out yahoo groups. I believe there is one for IC. The Happy Pelvis group focuses on pelvic pain and pt. The women are very friendly and it's also a great resource for finding docs/pt's that might help you in your area.

Thanks for your comment. Have you seen a physical therapist (for for pelvic pain), or know of someone that has? If yes, has there been any type of treatment to get rid of this pain (that's been successful), and what was it? Thanks again.
How about being evaluated by a physical therapist that deals with pelvic pain? I really think this could help you.
Please get an evaluation by a qualified pelvic floor physical therapist. Also please get evaluated by a urogynecologist, with interests in Bladder pain/IC, and pelvic floor dysfunction. You may find that your symptoms may be greatly relieved or even cured by a qualified pelvic floor pt.
