Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 am by Rosie21

Hi I have been suffering for some years with this abominable pain.

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- …

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 diagnosed with this condition a little under a year ago. I would be in and out of the doctor once a week, trying out different creams, antibiotics or pills that would take away the pain. I went to the gynecologist more than I have been to one my whole life. Every test they ran, would always come out negative. I felt alone and confused as to why this happened to me. I would be in unbearable pain everyday this past summer. I wasn't able to live the life that I wanted. I would constantly be annoying by crying about my pain to my friends all the time. I would feel bad and I would also feel alone because no one understood the amount of pain that I was actually in. Doctors would tell me that it's something to do with psychological issues but I truly don't believe that. I would be the happiest person on earth and still be in pain. But I would also be at my lowest points. I had depression over the summer where I wanted to just give up the fight and take the easy route out. I would cry to my mom every night begging for the pain to go away. Suddenly, after months of dealing with the torture, the pain began to go away, I was happy again and loving my life again. Until once again after 4 months I had a flare up. The burning pain was back, the discharge continued and the shooting pains got progressively worse. I figured that I've been through this challenge before and there's no way I'm letting it control me the way that it did before. I continue to have ice packs water bottles and anything cold between my legs to make the pain seem some what better. It's the biggest challenge I've had to over come but in the long run it has made me a hell of a fighter. I hope one day that the pain will vanish and I will be able to live the life with out pain, and I hope that all of you will continue to do the same thing!
-Chrissy (:

I hardly ever not feel this condition. It is depressing in a way, but I am trying to stay positive and know that my fertility and life means more than pumping myself with medications with no long term studies. Personal opinion. However, today and the past three days have been very trying.

Feel better.

I know it may seem like its the end of the world now, but I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. This condition can make anyone the strongest person if they persevere from it. I myself continue to start feeling the pain but I don't let it control my life anymore. There is hope, and you just have to believe that from now on!
