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- …

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 …

Vulvovagional pain from scented toilet paper
Hi Ladies,
I wanted to see if anyone has ever had experience with vagional pain caused by scented toilet paper or any scented products that affected your area.
I have been experiencing the new pain that I had thought was a yeast infection, but ended up not being one. My doctor had asked me if I had switched toilet papers or anything like that. At the time I said no, because I hadn't... at home anyway. I started working a new job a little over a month ago, which is when this new pain had started for me. Wondering why I had this pain it came to me to check the toilet paper at my job. Turns out it is a scented and quilted toilet paper. The timeline made sense amongst other things.
So, has anyone else had an issue similar to this? If so, how long did it take to go away?
Hope everyone is doing well and staying strong!

Re: Vulvovagional pain from scented toilet paper
Hello Jen, Scented products can cause all sorts of problems from burning sensation to yeast infections. Its a good idea to cut out all scented products that you use in that area including body wash and butt wipes. Also change your laundry detergent to non scented and no dyes and don't bleach your undies. This should help the problem. This may sound like a pain in the butt but I would bring my own t.p. to work.
Hopefully this helps hun. Take care.

Re: Vulvovagional pain from scented toilet paper
I avoid all scented products in that area since my problems started. As BpCookie says, it's probably best to keep some unscented toilet paper with you in your bag to use at work or in public toilets. Your employer probably thinks they are treating the employees to some bathroom luxury, but, in reality, it's not doing you and possibly others any favours.

Re: Vulvovagional pain from scented toilet paper
Thanks for the replies ladies! I stopped using the toilet paper at my work last week and started bringing in my own. I'm still feeling a bit of burning, but nothing like before. It's slowly but surely going away! I've never had such a reaction to something like that down there. My doctor and myself included thought my V had come back! Crazy how painful an allergic reaction can be. Can't wait for the rest of the irritation to go away!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
