Has anyone had formal biofeedback therapy for pouch symptoms? I'd like to pick up some pointers.

Sometimes I can "force" myself to relax and cramps lessen considerably. (Stress the SOMETIMES - it doesn't always work.) Rapid breathing (like what you see women doing during labor) helps reduce spasms sometimes also, which I would put into the "biofeedback" camp.

My new Dr. is religiously anti-pain medication. To the point of being a nutjob. I'm no fan of opiates either, so I'm trying to see the up side of the situation, which is exploring other methods of pain control.

Dr. still has not referred me to pain specialist. Don't know why. He said he won't give me pain meds and SAID I should see a pain specialist, but seems content for me to be in pain. Reminders that he was going to give me a referral have not gotten a response yet.

Hi. My daughter went to biofeedback for about 6 visits prior to coming home from college and finding out she did need surgery. The biofeedback did help somewhat with the pain she was having, but her's was a surgical issue that needed to be resolved.

She brought the meditation from the biofeedback on her phone to the hospital and used it a few times while she was there.

Her biofeedback wasn't just directed at her pouch, it was for the pain she had been having for months.

Hope it helps you.
