Decrease in pain (finally)

June 18 - June 21 : Pelvic pain every day. Thu PT was painful. Pain subsided on Friday. However, on Saturday again developed in evening. Sun developed pain in the afternoon.That changed to irritation that continued on monday full day. Pain broke on Tuesday finally. Tuesday was the first day in recorded history where I sat for full time with some pain (more discomfort) than pain. Wednesady went for PT. Drove from SF with some discomfort. Until Wednesday evening , there is more discomfort than pain (and the episodes are a few minutes). Of course, didn't go to work on Wednesday so maybe it helped. Less pain in PT definitely.

Another notable side effect is that it is easier to pass wind. Also, more stool passes in the first BM than second which is a good sign.This has been happening since approx June 18
