Re: Clitoral pain? Some thoughts

[Guest guest]

Hi Dee

Thank you for the detailed explanation, it was very

good, I have read the same thing too and have had it

checked as my dr thought it might even be a grain of

sand from the beach (my first recolection of this pain

is at the beach). But no, I don't have anything stuck

there. as a matter of fact I had wished it was, seemed

so much easier than all the stuff I have gone through

with no avail...

Thank you so much for helping...I'm still looking for

an answer. I don't have vv but my symptoms are very

much alike and there is very very little known about

this...
