Gabapentin Gel. or other topical creams
Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 am by Rosie21
Hi I have been suffering for some years with this abominable pain. I have tried most of the systemic drugs , I asked specialists and Doctors if I could at least try a topical treatment but because this requires a special prescription have been refused Has anybody had a chance of trying these? Thank you I will try to put a link on to some of the research into Gabapentin Gel. Thanks.

Putnams 'bony parts' cushion or Putnams 'Dr Huff' cushion - which is best?
Sat Aug 01, 2015 4:17 pm by Fielder
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie. I live in the UK.
I'm trying to work out the best cushion to get for my vulvodynia. I suspect that I could have pudendal nerve involvement (the aching and burning pain is from vagina to clitoris) and I have rectocele and some tailbone pain too.
I have seen some good reports on older threads regarding the Putnams pressure relief cushions....with some ladies …

Dear All,
I posted on here back in March 2017 having just got a diagnosis of vulvodynia after a few months of relentless and acute pain. I was desperate, I was hurting, I was scared I would never know life without pain there again.
I tried creams, acupuncture, numbing gels, frozen pads, baths with various internet recommended concoctions- convinced myself I had lichen sclerosus, herpes, thrush- …

hey, im 19, ive been struggling with this almost a year. The first week I became itchy I went in to check about a yeast infection another week later.

I was first told basically to just go home and use hydrocortazone, then I went …

MonaLisa Touch
Fri Feb 08, 2019 7:35 pm by rl2091
Hi All,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the MonaLisa Touch treatment for Vulvodynia? My pain started when I went on HRT(pill) for anxiety mainly and my pain abruntly stopped when I stopped HRT. However, when I started on the HRT patch (at my dr's suggestion), the pain returned and has never left. That was 7 years ago. I found MonaLisa Touch on the internet purely by accident …

Hi All,
I’m so glad I’ve found a place where there are others who understand how I feel!
So this is my story:-
I’m 36, and 4 months ago, whilst innocently sitting in bed reading I experienced a very sharp stabbing pain in my clitoris. It last only a few minutes and then subsided as quickly as it came on. It put it down to “one of those things”. The following morning I woke up …

Hi everyone,
About three months ago, I started having vaginal and vulval itching. Then, about two months ago, my vulva started to feel painful and look swollen, so I went to the doctor. I was tested for herpes, chlamydia, and gonorrhea which all came back negative. I also had to do a vaginal swab test and the only thing that came back positive was yeast infection. I was prescribed hydrozole …

Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
My GP prescribed Naproxen today and so far, so good!
Am feeling much much better, though now I get back pain
But at least it no longer hurts and the discomfort when walking is gone

Re: Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
Lucky nothing helped my pain until my vestibulectomy. Problem solved, but it was 7 years before I found anything to help. And take, this try, this do this... ugh. Yuck. Glad you're feeling better.

Re: Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
I'm not lucky, there is something seriously wrong with me. I tried getting aroused 4 days ago and not only did I have pain and swelling of the affected labia, it gave me swollen painful black veins in the area.
I am desperate

Re: Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
Didn't you say you had cyst problems why not get it removed? Seems you'd feel better if it weren't there anymore? Just asking idk. I suffered for 7 years I get it but there was no pain relief until the surgery no pain killer worked

Re: Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
I think I am getting it removed, but it will take FOREVER IN UK, I see a consultant in 4 weeks time and then she decides what to do,
I have horrible symptoms and some nasty new varicose veins on my labia which hurt with arousal.
I am so desperate, let them just cut the whole labia off, I don't even want it anymore, just want to live like a normal person without horrible symptoms.

Re: Pain and discomfort relief on Naproxen
250 mg x2 per day.
they helped the swelling of the vestibule (my bartholin gland which triggered the vulvodynia), but they stopped working for the pain which keeps migrating.
I am now on Ami 10 mg a day.
I think my bartholin gland is now atrophying or something, the labia is shrinking. oh god
