Gabapentin Gel. or other topical creams
Thu May 10, 2018 9:43 am by Rosie21
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 …

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 …

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 …

Pain following a vaginal cyst procedure a year ago.

Pain following a vaginal cyst procedure a year ago.
Hi everyone, I'm sorry this is going to be long, but please listen and help if you can. I am a 17 year old girl. In february of 2016 I had a mass protruding from my vagina, I went to the er, they didn't know what kind of cyst it was but they did an incision and drainage and put a word catheter in to help the cyst drain. During the procedure I had a sharp pain from where she cut me, but once it was over, the pain went away. When I got home I had green discharge, very very thick, almost like a booger, it was a small amount but still noticeable and I knew it had to do with the cyst. Everything was fine except for occasional discomfort now and then in the area where she cut me. About three months later though, I started experiencing pain in the exact area where she cut me and it hasn't gone away since. I still have the green discharge when the pain is really bad, and I have tried to get it cultured, but when I go to the gyno the discharge isn't there. I have been to so many doctors and they all say that because there isn't anything visually wrong with my vagina that means its in my head or I'm making it up. I feel like I am going crazy. I have severe anxiety attacks and can't do anything for days because of this pain and the worry that I'll always be in pain or that I will get another cyst and have to go through another procedure and be in pain 2x as bad. I'm severely depressed knowing that I can't masturbate or have sex and probably never will. At the end of december I tried to masturbate with my clit and then the whole right side of my vagina swelled up. There is now a tiny bump near the entrance of my vagina on the right side which scares me half to death. I have tried to get an mri of my vagina because I know something is wrong but the doctors say that because they can't see anything wrong they can't order and mri. My gyno told me to go to the er if the pain gets bad or it swells up again, but what are they going to do for me at er if not even a gyno can help me?!?! I don't want to go to a hospital and spread my legs for yet another doctor to tell me it looks fine and send me on my way. I can't deal with it anymore. Can anyone please give me some advice or guidance? It's been a year with the same green discharge and the pain only seems to be getting worse. I feel completely alone and scared in this. The pain is usually on the right side where I was cut at the er, but I also have been having pain on the left side as well. I really don't know if this is vulvodynia. It is vulvar pain, but the green discharge leads me to believe that there is an identifiable cause for my pain, but no doctor will listen or try to find a plan to help me. Maybe I'm just in denial, but I feel like there has to be a way to fix this. The pain recently moved up my labia and is closer to my clit now. I'm sorry if this is too weird or something, I just don't know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have never felt so alone in my life.
