Re: Info from NVA / Tawnia

[Guest guest]

Tawnia, I had right hip pain off and on for years.

Just before the onset of my vulvodynia last March, my

hip pain became constantly " on. " I always wondered if

there was a connection, and when I was finally

diagnosed and treated by my doctor and PT, I found out

that my hunch was right. So yes, hip pain *can* be

associated with vulvodynia. It doesn't necessarily

mean yours definitely is, but it's something worth

checking out.

P.S. My hip looks perfectly normal on an MRI. I just

had another MRI last November, same result.
