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- …

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 …

I was just wondering if anybody here has been doing physio But also taken medication at the same time ? Iv started physio been 3 weeks so far and she sees an improvement all ready in the tightness of my pelvic floor muscles and we are moving on to dialators on my next visit I think .

I still find that I have this slight burning irritation around the vulva skin inner thighs ect not as intense but still quite bothersome , I also have an apointment with my specialist this coming Thursday and she wants to start me on gapapentin ( sorry for bad spelling lol ). Physo and acupuncture don't think I should but I feel this may work better in conjunction ??? Has anyone else had any relief with a combination? I feel if I'm still burning and sore my muscles are just going to keep tensing tbh , I think mine is more generalized not in the vestibule just Smile any help would be great thanks Smile xxxx

Yes.  Unfortunately you know my story and I had surgery because it didn't work.  But it cant hurt to try and if it doesn't work for you, try something else.  But some people have had success with it. Smile

Yes I did physio and antriptiline. Worked well, it took a lot of the pain around the outside away, however the side effects are too much for be and I discontinued the medication.

Yeah I have pain generaliEd but physio is helping a lot dialators are the next thing but i constantly have irritation raw burning :/ she thinks mine is muscle related and that should all subside gradually but tbh If this gapapentin helps speed the burning up why not while doing physio , 7 months it's been and it drains me in every way possible xxx
