Laying down

I have vaginal burning, irritation and sometimes pain. I have also recently started having urethral pain - stinging and constant urge to go, although it does not sting badly when I do go. It seems my symptoms really calm down when I am lying down. Anybody else experience this? Any theories as to why I feel better laying down? I have slept a lot this weekend, but I have two kids to take care of and a job that is really important to me. Not to mention a house that is going to shit around me. I can spend the rest of my life laying down!!

Since you're not on the go it makes sense it wouldn't hurt. That's common. When you are in the go remind yourself to relax have you done pt? They give you breathing exercises to help you that you can do when it starts to hurt.

pudendal neuralgia presents as such, but I HIGHLY doubt you have such a thing so not even worth thinking about it.

there is another girl with similar symptoms such as yourself on this blog, however she is not close to any answers after 6 years:

I have a history of lower back, tailbone, hip pain so pudenal nerve issues would not be too far fetched. I am hoping its muscle related and not so much nerve. I went to see a dermatologist today to get another opinion. She did not see anything out if the ordinary, however she also is not a genital dermatology specialist either. She thinks I may have vulvodynia. So now it's one dr for vestibulitis, one for skin irritation /issues and one for vulvodynia. I have been hesitant to fly out of state to see a specialist but it sounds like it is coming down to that. My next appt (#9 in 4 months) is on the 15th. They squeezed me in early - thank goodness!! I spoke to her nurse this morning and she said she has experience w/ the two v's and she thought she would do what she could to work with me. I am trying not to get my hopes up too much.

Hi it doesn't hurt to get your hopes up as long as they are realistic. Being in a positive mind space helps so much. I am always trying new things and I try to stay very positive. I am actually worse laying down as soon as I do I have the urge to go and then I lay down again and then I go again this goes on for about 6/7 wees !!! Valium in a small dose helps me when I am getting tired from night after night of this. I believe its a nerve thing with me and that Vulvodynia for me is the cause of all my weird symptoms. At this moment I have had terrible neuralgia type pain all day at work my vagina has literally been throbbing for 9 hours, I couldn't sit down as it makes it worse and then my feet especially my heals burn and throb like crazy....

Any way we must muster on and do our best blah blah blah.....

Best wishes to you Z
