I found a great gyno who I found in January and she has been so helpful. I just had a vulvar biopsy yesterday and it was pretty painful. I was on percocet every four hours, but now I am at school (I am a kindregarten teacher) and can only take ibuprofen. Can anyone give me some advice as to pain management? I am icing when I can and taking meds. How long is the recovery time, and should I attempt PT Friday? Hi , and welcome to the group. I've not had a biopsy myself, so maybe others will be able to chime in later with responses. I wonder if things like an antihistamine (to reduce any inflammation) or sitz baths with Aveeno might be soothing. You might even consider calling your doc's nurse and asking for suggestions for pain (while you are teaching). As for PT, I would truly go by how you feel. I don't think I'd push it, if it were me, or possibly you could go and have her work everywhere else accept the area of the biopsy.
