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 …

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 …

Ok ladies, I wanted to share my story in case it gives anyone else some hope/help. I got Vulvodynia in college after a horrible bout with a combination yeast infection and bacterial infection. We cleared up the infections, but the pain/burning just never went away. I tried everything. Creams, pills, etc, and back then doctors knew even less than they do now. Most thought it was in my head, which only made things worse.

I have to say, I think stress played a HUGE role in my body not healing. Because after six years with this horrible condition, it wasn't until I met my now husband, and I took a weekend to lie in a zero gravity chair on a patio all day, that I think my body finally CALMED down and cured itself. I think around the time I got the infection, I was going though a lot of trauma and stress, though the pain was very REAL, and it took years for me to finally get to a point in my life where I wasn't in a constant state of worry.

Now the pain is BACK.  Evil or Very Mad It was gone for 10+ years (YEA!), but I am now older, savvier, and more prepared this time around. And yes, stress triggered it. But what I think I have figured out is that my secretions are what is irritating my skin down there!!! I noticed around ovulation when I have more secretions, the pain is so much worse! So I have been rinsing the area with cool water, then using the cool setting on my hair dryer to completely dry the area. And yes, the pain is almost gone every time I do it! Sometimes I put a little yeast infection cream on if it is dry afterward. I am kinda wondering if I used the tiniest tampon on a regular basis if I could block the irritation and just cure it completely, but I have not consulted a doctor yet? I don't think wearing a tampon everyday is ideale.

I also need to find ways to calm my body back down again in general..yoga, massages, reading. I hope this story is somewhat helpful to someone? I think I am basically allergic to myself, or at least my secretions. Weird.
