Since the onset of my IC symptoms, mainly frequency, I have had another agitating side symptom. I have not figured out how to adequatly describe it to my doctor. It feels as though nerves constituting the clitoris are being inflamed from an internal source. It doesn't feel sore like a skin rash, but more like pressure from inside, making the whole area feel over-stimulated. Orgasms have a burning quality that is disconcerting.
Is this considered vulvodynia? Since it's not really "pain", what does one take to alleviate the discomfort? Just like the sensation of needing to urinate, this just doesn't respond to any of the OTC pain meds that my doctor has told me to take.
