Otober3 I hope it helps you, when I worked on Onco, we would often use a stuff called Emla cream and apply it to a patients arm before doing an IV stick. Allot of our patients would request it so when their doctor wrote the IV order it was included in the order. Anyway there are allot of similar products on the market that are over the counter, and work sometimes  just about as well  and are definitely cheaper! Just something to keep in mind and check on.

 Good luck to you.

Having experienced chronic reproductive system pain on the male side (Mine is primarily in the left epididymis/testicle/prostate but also massive scarring up both spermatic cords, most severely the left, approaching my spleen, pancreas, gall bladder and heart among others), I can most definitely sympathize with this in ways that I suspect that only people with severe chronic reproductive system pain really can. Even among chronic pain sufferers, we are a sub-group with some very particular challenges -- not the least of which being that few doctors really want to deal with this kind of issue, or are very expert at dealing with it. You'd think gynecologists, urologists and the ultra-rare andrologist would be capable of helping but it seems like those few, are exceedingly rare to say the very least.

I might suggest a general campaign against inflammation, scar tissue and immune imbalance....things like Turmeric (esp. with piperine), Bromelain, Ginger, Boswellia, D-Phenylalanine, Magnesium, and a few other supplements can work much better than NSAIDS -- sometimes even topical ones which aren't necessarily going to be comfortable to use on reproductive tissues or penetrate them very well....and I wish you the best of luck in finding ways to cope with this burden!

Hi all--I am new to healingwell. I will be off to Wal Mart to se if they have derma plant.

I have this vaginal pain about 5 years but as of late is is getting intolerable.

sitting , standin equals pain. I have taken to the bed for the first time to get relief on some days when I have time to lay down.

I appreciate hearing about others experience and that it is indeed hard to find out exactly "what is the problem."

I would suggest that gals check for interstitial cystitis.

I found derma plast spray but not the cream.The spray didn't work so I tried medicated powder and kleenex in there and somewhat helps.

I hope you get better,I have the same thing,sitting,standing.Going to pain clinic in April.Will let you know if something helps.Thanks for all your help on here.

When it gets severe I sit on an ice pack or insert yeast cream.The coldness of the cream helps.

October3  Just as a thought, in some stores such as walmart and others, in there contraceptive  area, they often have  desensitizing creams and gels, that are usually lidocaine or benzocaine based. that are made for this sensitive area. Most are actually made for the male, but the purpose is to numb and make the area less sensitive. So that might be some thing that might be worth checking out and the price is usually allot cheaper.

so that's where it is,will check that out,thank you.

WOW!  I have the same problem as October.  I use wads of cotton in my underware to protect from panty elastic.  I cannot sit as electrical shocks go thru the vaginal lips...(right one is worse) It also feels when you are sitting that someone is pulling your hair.  (very painful)....I have thought perhaps I have al allergy to latex or to soemthing.  I have seen so many doctors that I have given up.  I have about 2 dozen tubes of this and that that I use.  They even gave me a tube of Estrogen cream to use down there and Nystatin Plain and Nystatin with Cortisone...Calamine lotion...Destin Diaper Cream, Zinc ointment and the list goes on.  Was on 2 weeks of non stop Keflex and Diflucan for yeast even though Yeast tests were negative.   MRI and Ultrasound (done at a good place) does show bilateral small inguinal hernais that are containing some belly fat and soem intestine.  But, MALE surgeons said, "Oh, they are small and cannot cause this much pain"...I googled "Women with Small Hernais" and came up with two stories of women in severe pelvic pain.  I called one of them. They found a Female Surgeon at Cedars Siani Hospital to help them.  They are now pain free.  She does sophisticated testing to find answers.  She will be my next step but hubby has cancer and I have to help him right now.

I wish you all the besy.  it is no fun......

Hi all---last night I posted comments here for the first time. Last night I was at my wits end with labia and surrounding area pain. I called my Wal Mart and asked for derma plant. I now know that is the wrong second word. Well needless to say they could not find it.

Soooooo my husband went to Rite Aid and asked pharmacist for something for bladder pain. That's what he my husband called it and really I think I might have a prolapse.

Well getting back to the cream my husband brought home---I was in bed all day today from exhaustion having ,as you all know , gotten up many times in the night to void.

THE cream he brought home is called BALNEO<. Well, IT WORKED!!!!! I've tried solarcaine( ouch, some temporary relief, and A D oitment to no avail.

I had to get on to tell you all.

I hope you can benefit from this.

I am going to get this too....Is it behind the counter at the pharmacist.  I also get up 100 times during the night.  I am n my sixties and at one doctor's office I asked the doctor for a Vagianl transplant.  I have had a cystoscopy too and CT scan and Bladder scan and Nada...Nothing. I will also google this to see if this can be bought on line.  Thanks Much.

Balneo at rite aid-I will try that too as soon as i have some more money and derma cream is in the condom section they said at wal-mart.I'm desperate and in severe pain today-soaking hot baths.Thanks for all help here.

Hi everyone

October3 I hope you have been able to find something like one of the creams to help a bit in the meantime. Oh well one more month gone so the pain specialist is coming up at least.

Reactiveconstellation - nice to meet you. So sorry you`re also going through a similar disorder in the male form. Yes, this sort of pain is `unique`in its own way, really debillitating. I agree, gynaecologists were no help to me. We are not taken seriously and/or put in the too hard basket. In fact I`ve actually had more luck with make doctors than women funnily enough, they have seemed to care more.

Silver Head and Macy - nice to meet you. I`m sorry you`re going through something similar too. Glad the cream helped Silver.I have vulvodynia and vaginal/vulval pain which ranges from spasms to a dull ache. I found a cream called xylocaine helped for awhile to numb the area. Also valerian and raspberry leaf teas helped to a certain extent, though the raspberry leaf tea you have to drink a lot of it to feel the effects. Have you been to a pain management clinic?

Well take care. Love Di xxx

I know what you mean,the doctors look at us like we are the only one in the whole world with this pain.I'm finding out there are many of us on here.I hope you get some relief too.I've even tried exercising to see if that helps but no.I actually went ti i-hop with my teens yesterday and was in agony tying to sit on the thick booth cushion.I sit better on a hard bench and then i sit on only one cheek balancing act.I might have to join the circus.Oh well.Hang in there.

Gotta love it when doctors who have absolutely no first-hand experience tell you how much pain it "possibly can" be. As if they really know....and aren't just guessing based on second- (or third-)hand experience at best.
