Nottingham Hospital Gyno?

Hey everyone, was just wondering if anyone in the uk can help me? After nearly 6 months of pain, overdosing on gabbapentin because a frozen parsnip was more effective, my gyno in my home town finally did something useful by getting me refered to Nottingham hospital to a Dr who specialises in this sort of thing!! I had to lol at the this sort of thing comment! I was just wondering if anyone has any experiance with Nottingham Clinic?? Thanks in advance! x

Hi again, is it David Nunns at Nottingham you've been referred to? I'd guess it is, my vulvar dermatologist tried to refer me to him and the referral went to pain management instead because he was off with a broken leg at the time however I talked to his secretary and she said to ask for the referral to be made again once he was back at work. I didn't because i'm sure a couple of women on here have actually seen him and didn't really rate him but saying that he does have a team of physios who work with him who have all done the courses my excellent physio has done so they should know their stuff. For me I would definitely have been referred to his physio team but it was too far to travel regularly and my physio knows the same stuff but is much closer to home which was my main reason for not going there. One thing I believe someone else on here said about the physio there is they adhere to the 6 session rule and discharge you whether you're helped or not after that, most hospitals do that. On the bright side if you go and they find a pelvic floor/alignment problem and give you the 6 sessions then discharge you and you feel you need more you can always take what they've told you to a private physio, it's still a plus as at least this would rule in or out physio being a good option.

I'm sure one person on here said she didn't rate him because he basically only had the list of possible causes we can easily find and work through ourselves but it depends how many things you've tried so far as to whether that would be of use to you. It's worth a shot for the physio team alone and I hope you'll let us all know how you get on.

I've only just seen this and extremely glad I have!!!!!!

My whole problem from symptoms to diagnosis to treatment attempts has all been in Nottingham and it'll be good to compare experiences with you both.

I experienced symptoms from 2009 and it took until 2011 to be referred to the hospital. I'm being treated at Nottingham Circle Clinic at QMC and have been for a year now. No luck yet with all of the treatments I've been faced with. Started to wonder whether I should go private but then I look at my bank account and realise no-can-do.

Where is the Nottingham Clinic? Is it the one I'm at? If not I'll be researching into that as I am extremely fed up!

Look forward to hearing your replies,

I'm so relieved to find this post.

I never went as it was way too far to travel with my severe joint issues so I've stuck with the physio nearer to home as I'm certain my problem is pelvic floor spasm/pelvic instability. Think kelle_belle did go and last I heard had been diagnosed with erosive lichen planus I believe (correct me if I'm wrong kelle_belle). I'm not sure exactly where David Nunns is based, I thought he was at the hospital but it's so long ago I was referred to him I can't remember. Sorry I couldn't help!

Wow, its been forever since I've been online. I had to stop logging in, sadly, I couldn't cope with the overwhelming sadness I was feeling. I hope you ladies are still on here? I just wanted to say that I went to Nottingham, within 10 mins I was diagnosed! I'm not mental! I have genital erosive lichaen planus. I cried! Mr Nunns has helped me so much, I cannot thank or praise him enough. He actually cares, he listens and wants to help. Not just with physical pain, but with mental pain too. I hope that you both have found some relief. Hope I get a reply x
