Guest guest Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Hi , It is strange – but pain – which ruled my life – is hard to describe after the fact. I don’t know what “certain” type of pain you mean. My original gyno - before he sent me to the vulvar specialist diagnosed me with VV, along with pudendal neuropathy. The specialist (Dr. – The “V” Book) diagnosed me with LS, which also “supposedly” causes pain. So I had pain from three different sources. My pain was all over the entire perineum/vulvar area. At times it looked inflamed to me, other times it didn’t. It burned unbearably, itched some of the time. I could NOT be touched anywhere in the entire area, but the 6 0’clock area was the worse. When I went for my pre-surgery LS check up with Dr. , she said everything looked just as bad as ever. There was nothing more she could do for me as I had tried everything. I took all the medications, topicals and huge amounts of narcotics she had suggested. I even had a pain management doctor. She thought I was so bad that even a vestibulectomy would not help me. BUT, I did not listen to her – I listened to the surgeon who was going to do my pudendal decompression surgery. He told me he could do the vestibulectomy at the same time, and I would be fine. I thought what did I have to lose – I did not think I could get any worse. He was right – I did great. Does this answer your question? nne From: VulvarDisorders [mailto:VulvarDisorders ] On Behalf Of femifesto Sent: Monday, September 03, 2007 9:13 AM To: VulvarDisorders Subject: Re:Life after VVS Surgery perhaps you both could describe more specifically what type of pain you have/had? isn't it known to be more helpful for certain types of pain? julie _,_._,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
