My va-jay-jay has not been feeling all that well today. Which, in turn, has my pelvic muscles feeling all “clenchy”. Lately, I’ve been feeling some random pains down there that come and go unexpectedly. It’s nothing like the pain that my fellow bloggers who suffer from vulvodynia have described, but it’s enough to make me wonder if everything is OK down there. Well, obviously everything is not OK, but I’m wondering if there’s something else going on besides the involuntary contraction of my PC muscles. I also wonder if I have always felt these random pains without really knowing it, and I’m only just now noticing because of the recent increase in awareness of my vagina? Who knows. All day today I’ve just been feeling an uncomfortable, almost burning sensation in and around the vestibule. Sometimes I feel a strange sensation on the inside. Not quite enough to really bother me, but just enough for me to think, “wait a minute, that doesn’t feel right.” It’s hard to describe. In fact, the feeling is so subtle that I almost wonder if it’s just that my mind is so freaked out, that my body is somehow manifesting that physically. Mind over body? Or it could be that I’m so just goddamn irritated from all the nasty bloody discharge that has been trickling out for nearly two weeks now! Damn Seasonique! You screw up a few days of pills, and you bleed for weeks and weeks.
Besides that pain, in the past few weeks on a couple of occasions, I also experienced some really irritating itching that turned into a burning sensation after some scratching (Haha, yes, I realize I may be sharing too much, but this is my way of keeping a record of these things so that I can remember to tell my therapist and pain specialist about it). That only happened a few times in one week, and hasn’t happened again since. Then, on a few other occasions, at random times during the day, I felt almost like a small pocket of air shooting its way up my vagina, which was really unexpected, and at one point definitely made me go “ow.” Not fun. Sometimes I’ve noticed that shifting the way I was sitting either caused or relieved the pain. Umm, could this just be a simple case of vaginal flatulence?!
But the most random pain of all has got to be this next one. It only happened once, but it was a truly WTF moment for my pelvis. I was walking in the office, when all of a sudden, I felt something like a sharp pressure right on the base of my pubic bone. It wasn’t anywhere near excruciating, but it was enough to make me walk with a sort of limp for a few minutes. Weird, I know. Any ideas?
