C are you feeling any better?
C are you feeling any better? I would ask Dr. Brizman if she can help. I had IC sx after intercourse and that is how all of this started. Exams are in the same area, right? So I imagine things have gotten stirred up. Hope they settle soon!
If we don't excel at health, the only other option is disease.
Thanks for asking, Mimi!
Thanks for asking, Mimi! Still feeling pretty sore and inflamed, but yes, I think would be similar to the intercourse department. My Dr also commented on the inflammation being a major contributor to my extreme sensitivity, as well as just at the tail end of my period leading to further irritation in my uterus with the lining sluffing off. Her suggestion was lidocaine cream to help numb everything up, but I know that is only masking the symptoms and most likely lead to another flare. I did ask Dr. M and waiting for a new herb to arrive. I see this was a popular thread to look at, everyone must be avoiding the gynecologist like the Black Plague! Haha! No fun going to a Dr when you know what it entails and the potential of stirring things up in such a sensitive area for us. Oh well, moving onward and hoping inflammation decides to settle very soon.
