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 …

Hi ladies,
It's very nice to meet other women who share this same issue. I have had vulvodynia for about 4 years now... I went off the pill about 2 years ago and it has significantly improved since then. About 6 months ago, my pain went away to almost nothing. Also, I was using lidocaine on and off and it helped a lot. Well I moved 2 months ago and that partner and I split up, so I have not had sex for 2 months. Well now I am with a new partner and we started having sex this week... and unfortunately, it seems that my vulvodynia is back : ( I don't know what to do about it. It's very painful and burns the whole time and my current partner is a very sexual guy, so while he tries to be understanding, he really just doesn't totally get it. He's never been with a girl with this kind of problem (as most guys have not). It's just really a problem in out newly budding relationship and I have no idea what to do about it. So I was just hoping to hear from you girls who are experiencing the same thing.

Hi ninjastar - welcome!

Just a thought- as it's a new relationship are you maybe a little tense down there without realising it? I can imagine that moving and splitting up was quite stressful and even an exciting new relationship can be stressful (tho in a nicer way!) so maybe this has stressed your pelvic muscles somehow and they've subconsiously got tighter, which can impact on alignment, which can impact on nerves and so on. Tight/dysfunctional pelvic muscles and/or pelvic misalignment are the cause of some women's vvd and they often aren't aware until they get a proper physio assessment. This certainly seem to be a factor for me. Have a read of the Physio threads for more info on pelvic issues.

Hope you can find an answer soon and enjoy your new relationship!

Loulou
