Nothing like going into a gynecolgists office as a dude with a full beard and have them call you by your very male name and have the whole office of men and women look up at you. I wanted to die and my blood pressure was 135 from the anxiety.

The nurse and the doctor were super nice and non judgemental. The doctor did an exam and said it looks like I'm having pelvic spasms. Which can cause stomach and back pain and urinary retention. All of which made sense. She offered me 3 options. 1. 2 med combos. 1. Cymbalta and something else. No way. I'm not going to deal with more meds. 2. Work with a physical therapist and use some kinda device thingy. Or 3. A pain shot. Probably the least dysphroric, least side effect option for me would be the pain shot.

Anyways I'm glad to have an answer but I still have this acid refulx which is a seperate issue and I have an appointment with the GI doctor tommorow. I don't know what he'll say. But I feel like puking right now but it could just be the stress from the gynecologist.
