Brief Answer: You can try these measures Detailed Answer: Hi, Levator syndrome is a difficult to treat. I have following thing to suggest. 1. Sitz bath- sit in a tub with gentle warm water for half hour twice daily 2. Take Amytryptalin tablet twice daily for month. 3. you should sleep on a heated pad. 4. You can continue galvanic system, as it may be a additive effect. 5. Pain killers like brufen , nimesulide, oxycodone ,ultracet can be taken ,keep them changing so side effect will be less. You will need patience, and these treatment will works, Avoid constipation as putting pressure in toilet also increase muscle spasm.Let me know if you want to ask any thing else. Regards,
