Pain with sitting?

Does anyone have pain with sitting?  Part of my vaginal symptoms include pain when sitting.  Sometimes I can side-sit okay, but I can't sit perfectly straight without excruciating pain.  I am starting to think I might have some kind of pudendal nerve problem.  Even when my pain level was down to a 3, driving a short distance (with me in the driver's seat) would cause my pain to go up.

I know what you mean! When soreness levels are high, I feel the same. I sometimes have to lean to one side to avoid the discomfort of sitting up straight. Feels like if I sit up straight there's a sharp pain or i'm 'squashing' sensitive parts by putting my weight on vaginal area. In times like those, I lie back and rest an ice pack there, that seems to numb the pain but only until the coldness lasts then it's back to the rawness/burning - the same feeling you get if you put salt on a wound.

That's exactly what I experience when I do ice down there. :(
