This problem is closely related to IC for me, because it started at the same time as the bladder problems and always varies in direct proportion to my bladder discomfort.
My gyn said something briefly about how the bladder sits on top of vaginal nerves, and that my "best bet" was simply to get treated for IC. She never actually used the word "vulvodynia" but I don't know what else it would be called. I don't have much vaginal discomfort, it's all north an inch or two, if you catch my drift.
I feel like it's all getting slightly worse every week. Now I can feel my pulse in my crotch and it feels like it is cold and buzzing. Whenever the doctor or a nurse or whoever asks me if I am in pain, I don't know how to describe it, because I think of pain as a headache or cramps or stubbing my toe or whatever. What am I supposed to say? It is so bad it makes me want a female circumcision.
