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 …

An absolute success story- please read!

Fri Mar 08, 2019 10:57 pm by Persevere1990

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 …

Here are some links I found helpful or at least interesting or informative:

http://www.obgyn.net/pelvic-pain/pelvic-pain.asp?page=/cpp/articles/Cracchiolo.pg2_0499
(just let me say about the above link that I would not recommend going on antidepressants as treatment because they can cause huge amounts of other problems (speaking from experience) but otherwise good info)

Thanks for such great articles and info! Ive sat here with a pen and pad making my notes to take to my Gynea appointment tomorrow morning!

I was very interested to see that preseed lubricant and that it helped a Vulvodynia sufferer.

Maybe once I do start another relationship there is hope for me to have some sort of sex life and quite importantly for me to have a baby one day.

Thanks Chinchilla, love the photo, they are very cute creatures!

Im being refered to a specialist Vulval clinic but as I keep saying I dont know why they didnt do that anyway in the first place!

Hopefully I should get an appoinment within the next 6 weeks and he said he would research into what would be the best consultant for me. At least he has been very caring.

I asked him for something for the pain when its bad until I go to the clinic and he gave me Voltorol, an anti inflamitory. I have to put it up my backside! never done that before was nervous! Only just started taking them had a couple of doses but dont see any benefit yet.

Gonna keep going with them tho and speak to the pharmiscist about how much I can take in one day as I am on SSRI antidepressants and I think they can affect each other.

Thanks again for links

Hope you are doing ok?
