Suggestions for reducing inflammation?

Hi guys, for most of the summer my pain levels have been pretty intermittent and lowish (yay) but I've noticed that soreness on touch around my vulva and on the left hand side just inside my vestibule doesn't go away, even though it doesn't hurt me unless i poke it.
I'm just wondering if anyone can throw in their suggestions for ways of reducing inflammation, in the hopes that it helps in the long run. At the moment I take 35mg ami which seems to help with the unprovoked pain and I have lidocaine gel for if it gets extra burny, which can sometimes help, but I'd like to try and try some things that work to reduce the inflammation rather than just mask it.
Thanks x

Have you tried an anti-inflammatory diet? Lots of omega-3's, no red meat. It might be worth a shot if you haven't. It seems to help me.

Hi, thanks for your reply! I'll look into it but I'm not sure it could help me much, as I am practically a pescetarian apart from the odd bit of chicken just out of personal taste anyway.

Hmm Im thinking research natural anti inflammatorys and start to include in your diet.

I had the same exact symptoms and tried diets, vitamins, creams, xanex... it turned out that my pelvic floor muscles are extremely tight not allowing oxygen or blood flow which produces lactic acid and burns your vulva... have you ever had your muscles examined? I didn't believe it either, I thought I had an infection living under my skin but I have been doing pelvic floor physical therapy and using a suppository valium for only 2 weeks and I feel so much relief it is amazing.

Thanks for posting that junobug85 I've been told the same thing about my red sore skin in the vestibule and I knew it was possible but always great to hear from a live sufferer so thanks.
