Guest guest Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Dear All, My physical therapist thinks exercise in a pool would help me enormously with my knee, back and shoulder problems. Of course, she also knows that it's complicated with vulvodynia. So I have two questions. First, is any pool water safe to excercise in? I guess the options are: typical chlorinated water (probably a no-no), non-chlorinated water (cleaned by ozone or some other process), and salt water. Second, would use of petroleum jelly keep the vulva area safe from the bad effects of the pool water? Any other ideas or information would be gratefully accepted. Janet PS I have been symtom free from vulvodynia for several months (thanks to topical Estrace and compounded estriol in jojoba oil base) and thought I was cured. Unfortunately I am having what seems to be a flare of the old symptoms (big sigh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
