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!

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 …

Sad My only vulvodynia symptoms are a burning sensation around the opening of my vagina and labia minor (vestibule), NOT my urethra. Vagisil and other feminine creams have no affect on the burning. Its not my muscles, its my skin, as i can have sex and use tampons normally. The only things that ever help me find relief are A.) Baths B.) Icepack against crotch C. Narcotic Pain Killer (ugth) and I normally start with a bath, which gets rid of the burning 50% of the time, than to icepack, and if nothing else brings relief, Vicadin.

Is there anyone else out there who just burns??? I do not have a bladder infection, although the odd thing is 90% of the time the burning starts right after I pee! I have considered seeing a dermatologist to take a skin sample off the opening of my minora. I am being driven CRAZY! The burning comes often, up to 4-5 nights a week!

Please help, I have no STDs, infection, but my opening just seeths with pain! Sad

Any other 'burners' out there? Empty me, i'm a burner

Post  grassy Wed Sep 07, 2011 8:46 pm

me, me. I burn. I think its my skin too. I burn, after I pee, and burn in the same **exact spots** as you do. The v hole opening, and the labia minor, one side and up the v crease. I tell you what i have been doing. I have a tube of clob.(cortisone) I have been experimenting. Its the ointment, NOT the cream. Its potent and dangerous so a person has to use a teeny amount. When i use it, i use the size of a pin head. So i'm playing with that and being careful. so far i think its helping. They say you have to taper down off it. I also feel like something is stuck in there somewhere. weird sensation. do you get that? cindy

Vagisil Satin has hydrocortizone too. It use to work wonders but now it hardly helps, all the creams just ad to te burning!!!!
I dont ever have any feels of anything being stuck in there now, just the burning. One time the burning was onesided and worked all the way up to my labia major! I was so horrified, and not in Narcotics got rid of it, I was so angry.

Hello from one burning vulva to another. I have burning pain all over the vulva. What works for me? Before i went on medication for this I used a spray bottle after i peed and i used Vaseline to protect the skin from my urine...like creating a barrier. Then i found meds that helped cut out the burning. the meds helped for awhile, but the burning is still there. it is nothing like it used to be, well at least not all the time. I recommend that you get a skin biopsy to rule out skin conditions. most likely it's nerve pain. My doctor recommended A & D ointment to moisturize and protect the skin. This is located in the baby sections in stores. it's used to protect baby's bottoms. i was recently prescribed lidocaine 5% ointment. I can tolerate it about 2 times a day. when i do use the ointment, after a little bit of burning initially, i have complete relief for about 1-2 hours. i am on a variety of meds: Gabepentin, Lyrica (was on Cymbalta-didn't help), and i just started Ami 2 days ago. I also take Percocet. I had a period of several months of relief about 6 months ago...now i'm going backwards. i'm hoping the Ami works for me. I truly believe these meds can make a difference in the pain. good luck! Smile
