Re: Inner labia

[Guest guest]

Since your pain is localized and outside, have you tried any ointments

with Lidocaine or one woman I know who finds lidocaine burns too much

gets compounded bupivacaine in cream and it helps her. There is a

study of women using cotten balls soaked in Lidocaine ever nite for

several weeks that reduced their pain.

I think sometimes if you can get the pain turned off then it kinda

allows your body to reset. Some Drs. also prescribe elavil in a cream

or neurontin is now being used in a cream. I know that Atropine cream

also has been used. I would contact a compounding pharmacy and see if

they reccomend any drs, hopefully gyns, who might order some to try or

have them talk to your own GYN to order some.

Hard to know if the IUD is involved unless you have it removed and see

how you do but other forms of BC can cause trouble too so you may not

bebetter off. I think women have more trouble with BCPs due to hormone

flux vs an IUD.

irritation changes from day to day. Some days I feel almost100%

normal,and some days I'm miserable. Does anyone elsejust have pain in

the inner labia? Does anyone take a comboof meds like amitryptiline

and cymbalta? The last time I had a VV flare I took 75 mgs. of

amitryptiline and 30 mgs.of Cymbalta and I got better after about 3

months. Thistime I'm just taking the amitryptiline and I have an

IUD.Could the IUD be messing with my hormones and moisture levels?I'm

at a loss, and just want to get better. I have a 10 monthold and a 4

year old, and I want to get better for them. The2nd yeast infection of

my lifetime brought the VV on this time.Thanks for every post, I check

my mail everyday.

Sorry you have to go through all of this. My pain is all on my inner

labia and clitoris. I have LP not LS, but they are so similar. I use

lidocaine cream compounded with crisco and it is a 5% solution. It

helps me greatly when I am in so much pain that I cannot even walk or

sit. Like you it is a day to day thing. I will feel great one moment

and then all of a sudden I am in complete agony.

Lidocaine and clobetesol seem to work the best for me. I have taking

amitryptiline and it didn't seem to do that much for me except make me

groggy and gave me constipation. I am trying it again starting at 10mg

and adding 5mg daily to see if my body can handle it this time around.

I am hoping it will help with the nerve pain and my anxiety over all of

this.

I also use A&D ointment just to help with the burning and pain at times.

Good luck and ask about the lidocaine. It really helps me. I do have

some burning after applying it, but then it does do it's

work.....numbing the area.
