Ice Advice.

I'm finally getting my life almost under control, and without meaning to take anyone's time, I was wondering if anyone used icepacks to get place to place like me, and had a favorite kind of icepack. I know most of the people here only have pain with sex, but I'm in pain constantly. Does anyone know of an icepack that's flexible even when frozen? Or, other ideas for treatment for me? It would me much obliged. I've basically given up on trying to live a pain free life. Silly, considering I'm only 15, but I inherited this from my grandmother and her 3 sisters. Of the 3, only one grew out of it around 50-60. My dear old grandmother got it at the same age as me, and still gets the pain now on occasion. I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point

Hi Lynn, sounds weird but I use frozen peas, they mould really nicely to wherever you need them. Just keep em in the freezer and tie them up in a little food bag. The only problem is you can't use them for long at a time as they go warm quite quick, so have to keep replenishing. I only use icepacks as a last resort and try not to use them for too long at a time as think they can make things worse if you use them too much. My physio suggested that cold baths are possibly a better idea. Also, I have a small squeezy bottle I carry around in my bag and if I'm desperate and don't have a coldpack, I go to the bathroom, fill it up with v. cold water and squirt it over my vulva as many times as I need. This is very soothing too.

I know it's easier said than done but please don't give up just yet. There is so much out there to try. OK, there is no hard and fast guaranteed solution which takes a while to get your head around, but there are many things which could make a CONSIDERABLE difference to your pain.

I took a rubber glove, tied off all the fingers but the middle one, filled it with water and froze it! It REALLY helps! You can insert it for internal soreness but it also helps to better direct the ice for delicate external icing as well. I used to make ice condoms but my "flip you off" ice finger is far superior .
