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- …

hey, im 19, ive been struggling with this almost a year. The first week I became itchy I went in to check about a yeast infection another week later. I have been to 10 different doctors a total of about 15 appointments for this problem for the past 11 months. I have been tested for everything including having a biopsy. I was first told basically to just go home and use hydrocortazone, then I went …

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 …

Celebrex...thoughts anyone?
Just wondering..anyone tried this (Celebrex)...apparently its for arthritis but helps with vulvar inflammation...
Just doing research here...as I have been reading around on other sites that Elavil hasnt really helped all that many women...
...seems more success with Lyrica, Celebrex, and maybe Nortriptyline..
any thoughts?

Re: Celebrex...thoughts anyone?
I haven't tried it but I've seen other women on various sites who have and results are mixed much the same as with Amitriptyline, I think it's a very individual thing what actually works for us. I'm on 50mg of Ami and it didn't work at all yet I've read posts from women on 10mg who have complete relief. I'm in the process of trying Lyrica so I'll have to get back to you on that one.

Re: Celebrex...thoughts anyone?
innit! (thats East London speak for isn't it or I agree) lol
I managed to get meds off my GP in the end cos the Gynae was such a dumb ass...think he got his medical degree from ebay :/
I'm upping the Pregabalin tomorrow..lets hope Im not sound asleep..face on the keyboard at work!
Am on last few days of period so pads are really starting to rub me ugh!
Won't know for a few weeks of the 300mg I rekon if the Pregab is working..hardly any side effects so far so pleased about that
What I did was do my research and then I just asked for the med I wanted lol I always do that to drs now. I do ask the drs advice as well! Sometimes you just gotta press for what you want
Re: Celebrex...thoughts anyone?
Yeah...I will ask my GP for specific meds if need be...at this point im so clueless...and I dont wanna just drug myself up for the sake of it...I need someone who has actually treated others with Vulvodynia to take my case. Even then...god knows if that will be any good.
Im so frustrated...fuck shit asshole crap
Therapy tommorow..yay (on the plus side)
