Guest guest Posted February 20, 2001 Report Share Posted February 20, 2001 Hello Everyone, Well, for the past 3 years I'd been telling the doctors what I think my pain was from and none of them listened. Until that is, I came across a doctor (Dr. S. Lee, MD) that I didn't mention vulvodynia to and I only told him what I thought the problem was (episiotomy). He performed the surgery on Jan. 16 and it's been just over a month now, and I feel physically almost as I did before. I still have some tenderness but it is nothing compared to the constant pain I had before. Mentally I'm still a little of a mess. Depression is still here but not as bad. I'm still taking Wellbutrin and Serzone but am going to be tapering down slowly, very slowly. My career as a nurse is a big problem. I had planned on going back to work, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to. My trust in almost all doctors has been shattered because of this. Will I be criticizing doctors and questioning every order they make? I'm just not sure if I'll be able to handle it. Maybe in time. I do wish all of you could have the change in pain that I'v had. No matter what the cause of the pain is or isn't from we know it isn't just in our head and we all have to let the medical community get informed about it. Lots of Love and Hope, Charlotte ston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
