G String Knickers

Okay I have been thinking anyone worn these knickers before they got this condition? I'm just wondering if maybe it contributed to us getting it???
It could have damaged the nerves and that's how we ended up with it- including stress and infections....

I have been SOOOOO Bad the last few weeks I can bearly sit. It's in both the anus and vulva and it's giving me stichy pains all around front and dull pains bottom base of spine!!! I thought I would brave it and go for a run but it didn't help much. I just always want to lie on my bed and rub the discomfort away.... I am so SICK of it!!!!

I used to wear em when I was younger..then I just thought oh these are uncomfortable lol and that was before I got Vulvodynia!

I dont think they contributed to it tho..I don't get Vulvodynia pains around the anus but I do get a very tender coccyx (tail bone)when it hurts I cant sit back and when my vulva hurts I cant sit front! I should just float! and guess what its called! coccydynia!! Yes I must be collecting all illnesses ending in dynia lol

I think the tail bone pain comes from my tendency to sit back when I have vulva pain..oh we cant win can we!

My advice is when you can lie down..lie down! Anything to give you some relief its what I do

I hope this flare up calms down soon for you

xx

not for me, uti infections and continual yeast infections (both brought on by sex) caused mine. If i hadn't have gone near any evil willies id be fine today!!! should have been a nun!!

Ditto.

Evil willies! Lmao!

Yes indeed they are! With regards to my ex the evilness must have drained from his heart into his willy! bitter? me? loool!

Men. Meh.

Hi Nadja,
Have you been tested for genital herpes, if your bottom and tail bone is very sore also then you may have this disease and not vulvodynia, been there done all that, sorry lovely, get the tests done for it, hope you get better soon.

Genital herpes? no it's not that as this came about since I was diagnosed with Vulvadynia/ Vestibulitis. What happened when you found out it was genital herpes? Is it cured now?

No I dont have gential herpes in this area, but your symptoms sound more like it rather than vulvodynia.

Pain around the anus is also part of Vulvodynia..

"The pain in unprovoked vulvodynia is not always restricted to the vulval area (area of skin on the outside of the vagina) and some women get pain elsewhere. This can be around the inside of the thighs, upper legs and even around the anus (back passage) and urethra (where you pass urine). Some women also have pain when they empty their bowels"

This quote is from the Vulval Pain Society website

I also have pain around the tailbone and bottom itchy raw feeling some days its in my bottom some days its round the front some days its all over. I suffered from coccdynia when i was about 10 they put it down to a bad fall I had. It went away after about a year of sitting on a hard book in the car or a hard chair. Then 12 years later I get vulvodynia and the tail bone pain comes back....iI also have pain with bowl movments. I am currently using a cream that relaxes the anal sphincter which makes pooing more pleaseant

some times I think doctors just like to name things so it sounds like they know whats going on. I am so over this pain today...

Let's not forget the pelvic floor attaches to the coccyx so a coccyx fall would easily set off the PF which can easily set of V.

yeah I get that but the fall was when i was 10 and had no symptoms between that resolving and v starting. I am sure there is a conneciton somewhere but doesn't explain why i was pain free for 12 years
