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 …

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 …

Thanks to GOD and I got my life back and Vulvodynia was under control for while and until last week I did something wrong and one morning and I woke up& sitting up wrong on my bed and didnt realize it after while and then all of sudden a strange pains it not like vulvodynia throbbing pains it something else my urethra was so hot when I pee and pains like when I first sitting wrong it was still there .. so it took me a week to get better and then yesterday I was sitting at the court office chair it starting to bothersome the same pain where I was sitting wrong.. it like when you sprained it your ankle that how I feel it ..

Hi and welcome, I suspect you need your pelvic floor checked out for tightness, it's common in IC and Vulvodynia and so find a women's health physio and ask to have it checked. Sorry about your Mum, I lost mine 8 years ago and still miss her every day.

Welcome to the forum bluefish3, you have certainly had a lot going on. I do hope you can find the answers and support you need.

Deff a good idea to get your pelvic floor looked at, have you asked to be refered to a Vulval Clinic for the Vulvodynia?

The IC network may be able to offer some help with this. They have a section on PN too I have seen some women posting with simalar irritations. The reason I suggest PN is because certain positions seem to cause these woman pain, ie sleeping on ones side.

However I know IC can also hurt when lying down. (I have IC)

I get weird electric shock sensations in my clitoris if I catch it wrong, I deff think that is related to nerves.

Just wanted you to know I am not alone and glad you have had sucsess with Elavail - I didn't.

Oh and as the others said. Pelvic Floor assessment = best thing you can do!
