When five doctors tell you not to worry...but symptoms persist...do you stop worrying?

Pelvic pain, when all structural/medical issues have been ruled out, can have a huge mind body connection. Google Curable app and Nicole Sachs. There are tons of podcasts from Nichole with guests about pelvic pain. You have nothing to lose and only a pain free life to gain. Try it!

Also not a big box pt office.

And try a few pelvic floor specialists. Some of them are one trick ponies who only know how to do kegels, so don't get stuck with that.

I wonder if a chiropractor could help.

It is acceptable to the medical community that women are in chronic pain, because are pain is minimized. Heck, thanks to OxyContin, doctors are limited on what they can do for chronic pain even if the do care.

Sometimes pain will go away with time or at least you learn to live with it. I wish you luck.

This. I doubt you have cancer or anything. You have chronic pain. Chronic pain sucks. I have it as well, including in the pelvic area. Women who have chronic pain are disregarded and dismissed.

(This is one of the reasons I am still masking a lot, out of fear of long COVID. I know what it is like to have a chronic disorder no one knows how to treat well. I know that if I get long COVID my symptoms will likely not be treatable.)

Peeing often isn't a significant concern, so that's probably influencing the doctors' lack of worry. and it should yours too.

unless you have other symptoms, they will probably just refer you to a bladder training therapist.
