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- …

Thu Feb 21, 2019 5:49 am by Jet227

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 …

Thank you all for talking with me every time I get an email notification saying someone has said something on here it gives me hope and comfort.

Emilita: Its hard to tell where the pain is coming from sometimes because last night it felt like the area right outside my vagina as well as my butt just a really bad burn. Today its in my clitoris and what I feel is my urethra. My symptoms seem to vary and hurt the least when I wake up in the morning. I did sign up for state insurance and I call almost everyday to see if its approved Smile

I think the hardest part about all this is trying not to break down all the time. I almost feel like I need learn to be a complete different person and I'm having a hard time with this. I lost my job so I've become very depressed I can't really leave my house because of the pain. My relationship is also suffering a great deal and I don't have a lot of family support so that is hard. That's why I've started reaching out to places like these its nice to be able to talk to other woman that are going threw or have been threw the same thing. I'm so surprised when this all started happening I had never heard of this before. It makes me angry actually that doctors/people aren't more knowledgeable of it. It also makes me angry that doctors proscribe you things without telling you how sever the side effects. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you strong women because at this point I don't know how you do it.

Coconut yes I have tried the capsules and they do help but I didn't want use them because I would rather go more natural and you just raw coconut oil so Ill be giving that try Smile I hope to find a good doctor in my area that excepts my insurance soon. Its hard to find I've asked my doctor and Gyno now and they both say that they're not sure where to go from here. Not that would trust them anyway because they are the ones that proscribed me all this garbage without telling me what it could do. I did see a urologist as well but she didn't even look at me and just proscribed me more pills which I'm very against now.

Anyway I'm a talker thanks all for you advice and support. Smile

I agree. It's hard not to break down all of the time. I'll have a minute when I think I am normal, then the pain reminds me that I am not. I'm so tired of the pain and feeling broken, and crying. What did I do to deserve this? Why am I being punished? So sorry to be having a meltdown, I just needed to talk about how I am feeling.

I'm so sorry for your pain and I'm with you and here if you need to talk to someone. I feel this way almost 100 percent of the time. I have always been healthy and active and had the freedom to live life freely. I feel that has been taken away from me and I just can't seem to pull it together as much as I try. I stressed myself out so bad about all this my hair is failing out and I'm having odd things happen to the rest of my body. I've been the the doctor all the tests are normal and they say its just stress realated and I need to relax. I don't know how to relax when I can't even go out and live my life. I don't have anyone to really talk to about it that's why I joined this site in hopes maybe I could find some support or offer some to someone else as this is not only physically demanding but mentally exhausting. My e-mail is danifournier1990@gmail.com if you ever want to talk feel free Smile
