Fibromyalgia + Rectum spasms & nerve pulsations

[AngelIyz]

I'm 21 years old and have been diagnosed by Fibromyalgia 3 years ago. I took a mild anti-depressant treatment (Tryptizol) for one year and it improved my sleeping efficiency (but not the muscle spasms/ pain), later i took Lyrica for one month, but i got nerve pulsations and tremors all over my body as a side-effect so i quit.

My problem with Fibromyalgia is partially solved as i'm now having relaxation physiotherapy sessions on my trigger points (i think they're somehow effective, but on the long run). However, there's this problem that is affecting my whole life, that is- i get frequent rectum spasms and non-sensational pulsations that originate from the rectum and cause me tremors all over my limbs and back. I'm not sure if this has to do with Fibromyalgia or if it's a side-effect of medications and anti-depressant treatment.

I really need your help as it seems no doctor is aware of how this problem is affecting my life.. i have difficulty defecating, not constipation but because of this weird spasm at the rectum muscles. In addition, i've read about PGAD (Persistant Genital Arousal Disorder) and i think it is similar to these nerve pulsations that i get and it is often a consequence of anti-depressant treatment. I'm really worried lest it would affect my marriage life, therefore i'm postponing all my wedding plans with no definite reason because i don't know how my future life would be like.

I appreciate your help, thanks.

Hello to everyone on this thread. Just wanted to check if you've found-out solutions for your "Obstructed Defecation Disorder" & your persistant rectal spasms. Again, my story is i was about to die because of this medical condition, as at one point i was unable to pass out for about 10 days! Then I had this BOTOX injection in my anal muscles, & my problem is almost totally solved. Especially, it was followed by psychological treatment, i took "Effexor" anti-depressant & really helped with the relaxation needed. Although, I around the same time of the healing-up process, i coincidently developed a new rare condition called "Visual Snow". I'm not sure if it is relevant in some way though.

Hope you all heal from that soon & feel better. God bless you all =)

Hi Ronnie.. Hi everyone. I'm so sorry for getting back at you after all that long.
I've had the BOTOX injection one year ago in my anal sphincters & puborectalis muscles & i've improved much. My defecation problem is nearly solved! good luck Ronnie & everyone, hope you feel better. Just one note, if the Biofeeback stresses you out, just drop it out, you don't really have to do that. By the way, BOTOX have nearly no side-effects. Also, an anti-depressants episode post-injection could really help for relaxation onwards.

RECAP- The studies of Prof. Waldinger have shown that ReGS, including PSAS or PGAD, is a well-described neurological disorder... that can be treated with TENS and or medication (daily clonazepam, or oxazepam, or on-demand tramadol;  local injection with bupivacaine 0.5% or bupivacaine 0.5% + 40 mg methylprednisolon).

i'm, using TENS unit ,  it says the nerve that is being aggravated It is a small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) of the dorsal nerve of the clitoris (DNC), a small nerve in the vicinity of the clitoris and vagina.
Prof. Waldinger try chiropractic, low back adjustment  might help also  have u had a hysterectomy? I did...

Yes.  Look into ball rolling.  On the ovarian cyst forum if you look at the health pages (top right) attached to it you will find a listing about adhesions.  Give it a try.

Sorry one more questions - Abdominal Pelvic Adhesions - has anyone found a really good cure for these besides physical therapy, acupuncture and nerve blockers?
