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 …

An absolute success story- please read!

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 …

New and need advice and help

Wed Dec 05, 2018 3:26 pm by Cin124

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 …

I am not sure if I do have vulvodynia, I need to rule out everything , my story ....

I was taking Nytol , OTC sleep aid for years every nite for sleep, and back in July 2009 , for the entire mth of August and I stopped taking the Nytol , 2 weeks after I started to have burning/itching on outside of vulvo area close to the urthea area , I didnt pay too much attention why it was dng this , by the end of August I was back home from my vacation and my family Dr gave me a steriod cream , I applied it one day and it was gone away , but at the same time I started back the Nytol , and nevcer had a promblem after, UNTIL went back on vacation to Florida this time for all winter , I just quit my job and was now semi retiring so I decided to stop taking the Nytol for good, this was Dec 2009 , again same thing happened to me after 2 weeks, by the end of the Mth it got really bad , I was in extreme pain , I couldnt wear any clothes at all , it was as if I was sitting on top a stove and someone threw acid on an open womb , I couldnt sit on it , it burned/iched, and at times it stung. I went to see at least 5 GYN , went to ER , seen other Drs at Medical clinics , while I was on Vaction , they did every test under the sun , ruled out anything and everything , I never once thought Nytol was the culprit . At every Vaginal examine it was extremly painful by any touch , I was given antibiotics for no reason , only by assumptions , they thought it was vaginitis , etc.. , I was given several types of steriod creams, Hydrocodone (80 pills) , I tried Estrogen cream for 7 weeks, I was on Gabapetin for 2 weeks, and a Benzo Klonopin , well as time went by I was finally able to wear jeans , had no problems sitting , walking as b4 I couldnt even walk it was so bad. It was abt 2-3 mths later it seemed to get better , I had no problems getting a pelvic exam , touching that area , BUT was getting a different kind of pain as I was on Bnezo Klonopin and was getting now burning sensations off and on from one location to another , come and go , but no stinging , but was still itching and at that time I had NO problems scratching that area when needed . Fast forwarding now , I was told to stop the Benzo Cold Turkey after taking it for 4 1/2 mths , and things hit the ceiling , I was in severe withdrawl, well now its 18 mth slater and I still have withdrawl symptoms as I seen a neruologist he said Benzo deplete the GABA and changes the Brain Chemistry. Well heres my confusion now , since Decemeber of 2010 I started to get that stinging back down there and its so bad that when I wipe with Toilet paper , just by a slight touch it triggers stinging , but it triggers stinging all over my body NOT just there , it also triggers a headache, weakness, pressure around my throat , and burninging all over my body , as these symptoms are not always cuased by any triggers its mostly like this on my body all over as its caused from Beno Withdrawl, or its part of my recovery. So my Question is this do having Vulvodynia cause your entire body to sting or burn by any sense of touch on the vulvo area, I dont have any internal issues as I did the first time , its all around the surrounds of the vulvo area. I am worried I had vulvodynia the first time and I recovered from it and now its back again , or its caused from what the Benzo did to me. Any thoughts , I would appreciate it . A final note I dont have any problems sitting , wearing tight jeans , or internal problems , but my worst symptom is stinging extremly bad , it does come and go with intensity , and a few times its hardly noticable unless its triggered !!!! at times its nothing at all but until I scratch anywhere that area or wipe with Toilet paper it triggers the symptoms. Is it Vulvodynia? Thank you for reading this .

Sincerly
