Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I am 27 and have been having pain during and after intercourse for 5 years (after birth of 1st child). It was always written off to the fact that I had a 4th degree tear w/ my first baby. Anyway, after many visits, complaints..my gynecologist suggested IC, so I visited the Urologist who diagnosed Vulvodynia. This was 2 months ago. Funny how it was the Ur who diagnosed this and not my family physician or Gyn. Anyway, I am currently on 20mg elavil and doing pelvic floor physiotherapy 2x/wk. The therapy has done wonders for the pain during intercourse, but I still have the throbbing, irratation afterward. I don't know if I should be on more elavil..but it makes me extremely tired even when taken at night. Just wanted to share my story (some of it) as an introduction. I am always looking for suggestions and what has worked for others in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
