My pain is not on touch although I have to be careful with wearing tight clothing. I have a generalised 'sore' ache on the left hand side of vulva. In med exams, no pain.

Sometimes I think I go mad. I have this now for six years, I am 58 and I pray for the day that my pain wil be over.

Comes and goes ,but almost never completely gone. Worse when I site or walk. Better when I lie down. Mostly in vulvar area. Could be burning, sharp. When bad, it's also aching. I can't wear pants; can't have sex except rarely. On touch at back of vulvar area (Bartholin's gland) pain is excurciating, like touching a raw nerve. This happens in med exams, pelvic physical therapy, etc.

I still have pain in the area, but since going off of hormonal treatment (Seasonique) which was treating my periods, I no longer have the degree of pain I once did. At worst, the continual pain was 4-5, now much lower. I can wear jeans again, but pelvic exams are still horrible

I have had vulvodynia for 4 years, I have seen 19 health care professionals, I am 57 years old and sometimes you just have to cry. I have both physical pain and emotional pain.

Unbelievable pain when my doctor tried to do a pap smear. I almost passed out, and she and I were both crying.
