Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 am by Rosie21

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 …

Hello!

Has anyone gone to a Pain Management doctor at Cleveland Clinic - Weston, FL? My primary care doctor (the only doctor that actually pays attention to my whole body, not just one disease/affliction) told me that the city I live in is too small to have a facility that could work through all of the nerve, back, V pain I have and suggested I go to Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic. Mayo really didn't seem to have anyone that knew about V, so I crossed that one out. Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland had a couple of people that worked with V. But as I was looking at doctors, I saw that there are some in Florida that list V as a specialty. Florida is much closer for me (I live in Alabama).

Of course, I have seen other doctors that list V as a specialty, but the minute you sit down and tell them what is going on, they suddenly realize that maybe V should not be listed under the specialties they treat - so it's always a crap shoot.

I guess, as usual, the answer is no. There is no help out there, is there?

Sinclair Sassy,

That is simply not true. There’s certainly HELP out there, it’s just whether it can cure you. Everybody is different and th cause of Vulvodynia can be different so of course not all treatments are going to work. It’s about trying to look positively on what is (as we all know) a very negative situation. When I started looking positively about things I started to feel a bit better- obviously not cured but just happier in myself.

I think it’s alwaus good to try and be as positive as possible especially on a forum where so many others are suffering and it’s perhaps not always the best to send out a negative message. Keep fighting and you’ll get there one day- we all will.

This forum in itself is help. There’s physio. Antidepressants for nerve pain. Lidocaine. Surgery. Diet. Biofeedback and dilators. Aloe Vera feel. Steroid creams. Pelvic floor exercises. Botox injections. Laser therapy

That’s to name just a few^

Keep going and don’t lose hope

I wish I had seen this sooner! Yes I've been to Cleveland clinic in Westin but chose to stay with my private doctor Dr. Trabin in west palm beach who is affiliated with Cleveland. If you can go to him hes an absolute God send, but the doctors at Cleveland were top notch also! I just prefer private practice. Dr. T did my vestibulectomy and I have no complaints. If you have questions, feel free to directly message me aa I'm not on here anymore much.
