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 …

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 …

Lidocaine and Itching? Empty Lidocaine and Itching?

Post  lindsey_taylor Sat Oct 01, 2016 6:49 pm

I have been trying this whole thing for the past few nights... soaking a cotton ball in lidocaine and putting it against the vaginal entrance at night. Tried this before, wound up hurting more due to the pressure of the cotton ball so I quit. Trying again. The lidocaine does help soothe the pain but I have still been having the pressure pain from the cotton ball. So I mixed the lidocaine with yes water based lubicant, squirted a little of this mixture inside my vagina and put the rest on the cotton ball and put it at the entrance of my vagina. Woke up yesterday morning itching around the inside of my labia, and right at the entrance of my vagina. I should also mention that I just finished a 21 day treatment with clindesse recently and it didn't do me any good. What could be causing the itching? The lidocaine? I have not had itching with my vulvodynia in the 2 and 1/2 years I have had it... just pain and discharge.

I tried the cotton wool trick, but also had itching. I came to the conclusion that the cotton wool was causing irritation, so I stopped! It doesn't say on the cotton wool pack whether it's 100% cotton, and the have no obligation to say whether the cotton wool has been treated with any chemicals (e.g. bleach Rolling Eyes ) I figured there was probably something in the pads.

Maybe you could search online to see if there are any brands better to use, or someone might be able to suggest?

I am seeing a new doctor who told me that occasionally lidocaine can lead to sensitivity. She also said that you can have rebound pain (i.e., the nerves will seem more sensitive when it wears off). This seems really bizarre to me, since it gets prescribed so often for vulvodynia.
