We talked a bit about how I can’t even use tampons without pain which isn’t normal. And obviously sex would be painful. I was embarrassed but she was nice about it. I really feel like there’s something wrong with me though. I don’t know if I’m going to do the physical therapy or not because I hate going to the doctor and I have enough anxieties as it is. Has anyone else dealt with this?
