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 …

An absolute success story- please read!

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- …

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 …

New and need advice and help

Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:26 pm by Cin124

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 …

Hi all,

This is my first post and first time talking about this. I was in a sexless relationship for a long time and I'm now dating someone new. We tried to have intercourse and I'd all but forgotten how much it hurts. I couldn't do it and made him stop, which as you all know is just devastating! I've not been diagnosed but I've had this problem for a long time now. I was always too scared to go to the doctors but I don't want to have to live with this.

This forum looks lovely and it's nice to know I'm not alone.

Hi. You must go to Doctor who deals with. Many Docs do not even know what it is. Also because it is so hard and time consuming for a Doctor to help, many do not want to. Honestly I saw at least 15 different docs before finding Doctor Trabin.
Ask your pharmisit if they know of any docs. That is how I finally found mine.
Where do you live

Hi Mixiepie,

I'd strongly suggest finding a specialist asap. Not treating vulvodynia won't necessarily make it worse, but it's not good to leave untreated. There's a website that you can join that will give you the latest new on vulvodynia studies and a list of specialists near you. You have to pay a yearly fee that gets donated to the NVA to join. I only paid it for one year though just so I could get a list of doctors near me. I'll link it below if you'd like to check it out.

http://www.nva.org/

It really is a great resource. I completely understand how you feel. I've been with the same guy for over 5 years now. We met before I even knew I had vulvodynia. When we tried to have sex it was so painful we had to stop. This happened multiple times. I always thought I was just scared of feeling the pain from the first time, but it was more than that. Once you find the right specialist you will feel better. It might take a few tries to find the right doctor for you...it took me about 4 tries to find the right one.

Please keep us posted on your progress! Good luck!

-Jen

Hi Mixiepie,

I suggest you find a specialist asap as well. Having vulvodynia is really hard. I've had it for the past for about 4- 41/2 years. It may take a while to find someone, and a few different treatments trying to figure out what will help you. It's like being a guinie pig because vulvodynia is not something doctors have really looked into. So it can be a bit frustrating but here I am 4 1/2 years later still trying to find something. Hope you can find someone to help you soon and don't worrie! your not the only one out there!

Hi Mixiepie,

You're definitely not alone. I agree with the other ladies - best to see a Dr as soon as possible. It's difficult to find one who knows about this (I had to see 5 or 6 plus a couple of specialists) but once you do things will start to get better. You just have to keep going which, I know is really hard sometimes. They will need to try different treatments / combination of treatments to find the best one for you. I found a pelvic pain specialist who has experience of V in my area by looking on the internet & then asking my dr to refer me.

Good luck - let us know how you get on xx
