Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 With my PCM ya never know...for the wls I just told him I had been thinking about the surgery, he said good idea I will give you a referral to the surgery clinic...Almost to easy lol. Misty -- Re: Re: Question My pcp said the same thing about the rash on my stomach after my surgery. If you can't pinpoint a certain thing that's causing it they just call it contact dermatitis she said. But, they should have at least given her something to try on it. Or referred her to a dermatologist. W 380/285/160 Mike wrote: > Ask your PCM to refer you to a dermatologist or some other > specialist. I'd be concerned about a PCM that 1.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2006 Report Share Posted October 21, 2006 Hey, I get that every fall. It's a seasonal allergic reaction I get. Not sure about yours, but if it's the same thing, my doc gives me a prescription steriod cream to clear it up. Once, I got it on my nose and forehead, almost like after a sunburn. But it happens mostly on my hands every fall. Started when I moved to Upstate NY from GA. Question I am having an odd sorta problem, can't find anything much on the web and you guys impress me as being a pretty smart group lol. I am having a skin peeling issue on my hands. My right hand is worse than the left. A very large area on my thumb, a smaller area on my index finger and just a bit on the palm. I have tried using lotions and creams etc, Asked my PCM about it, he just looked at it and said 'I haven't got a clue " I am worried it could be a skin infection of some sort? Worried if it will effect surgery decision or if I should even mention it to the surgeon when I meet with him next week? Anyone with any ideas on this? I am fresh out lol. Misty in Ohio hoping for surgery in early January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 the pain is definitely in the vestibule area, as I sit I feel it and if I press the area I can indicated certain spots in the vestibule that are painful. But I read about pain on contact for vest, and I get pain just sitting here, not like I am having sex or using a tampon, to get the pain, so I am not sure what " on contact" means????

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yours sounds more like general vulvodynia which can come straight out of the blue. Where as vestibulodynia tends to have to do with more on contact such as with the q-tip test. I know that a number of years ago there was some info posted on dysthetic vulvodynia and also recently I think that Dee posted a breakdown on all the categories of vulvodynia. I'll check later to see if I can find the one on the dysthetic vulvodynia (which can have to do with nerves as well).

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Question, maybe for Tom, how can you tell if you have levator ani syndrome or Pudendal Neuralgia? CGet a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 C, Since the symptoms overlap so much it is difficult to do. But, they may both be secondary to what is really going on. Structural asymmetry and resultant increased tone and dysfunction of the pelvic floor / levator Ani can, in my experience, be the chicken before the egg scenario. One can lead to the other. If you do a nerve block and all symptoms go away, odes this indicate the presence of pudendal neuralgia or because killing the nerve pain allowed the levator ani muscles to relax. Very tough call. The feeling of a golf ball in the rectum is most certainly levator ani involvement but did it happen because of entrapment of the pudendal nerve and blood vessels??? The chicken or the egg..which came first??? TKOPT Carolyn52192@... wrote: Question, maybe for Tom, how can you tell if you have levator ani syndrome or Pudendal Neuralgia?
