Yep, would describe that pain the same.
Also dream of the day i can enjoy sex. One of my big plans when i see my new specialist tuesday is to get a solution to that, im not sure he can really help me much otherwise, but if that could be solved would be worth the $250 consult.
Still havent tried the lignocaine yet, keep meaning to but have been so sick lately the thought of sex is just horrid.

I forgot to ask the doctor if I can use lidocaine while pregnant. Since I've been pregnant, sex is just CRAZY painful again! Way more painful than when I used to have problems while on the pill!

what is lidocaine? Alot of these medicines I hear on this site are completely foreign to me... such as lupron. I did look that one up on the net though. My doctor tried to get me to get the depot provera shot (spelling?) and I told him that I heared that the shot was dangerous... and thats when he told me the side-effects. The minute he mentioned bone loss and weight gain I was like NO WAY! Women already have a greater risk of bone loss and there is no way I would do that to myself!

Lidocaine is a numbing agent. Basically, what the dentist uses to numb your gums before dental work (same family). We have a thread on it if you are interested. I'm looking for the thread...

Great. The search feature isn't working for me for this specific thread! I'll keep looking!

So... if lidocane is a numbing agent... and people want it so they can have sex... it still doesn't solve the problem of having a "good feeling" because you wouldn't be able to feel at all!

Actually, all of us on here who have used it have been able to feel everything but the pain.

Yep. I get two tubes at a time. I haven't had the prescription refilled in about a year, though.

Whilst educating myself on endo i stumbled across this.. many of you may already know abt this but i'm sure there are other people out there like me who still ask these silly questions everyday What is Dyspareunia? (Pain During Intercourse) Dyspareunia (dis-pa-roon-ia) is the medical term for pain during intercourse. You may hear your doctor use this word or see it in other written material. Pain during intercourse can be caused by a wide variety of reasons. Examples include an allergic reaction to a personal hygiene product or hormonal changes related to aging. Sometimes, emotional issues may also play a role. Find out more in our brochure "When Making Love Hurts". The Causes of Pain During Intercourse Include: Tipped or retroverted uterus - Some women with a tipped uterus experience pain during intercourse. This happens when the penis hits the cervix or uterus during sex. This condition is known as collision dyspareunia. Endometriosis - The tissue lining the uterus - the endometrium - may grow outside the uterus causing deep pain during sex. Infection - Bacterial or yeast infections are among the most common causes of pain during intercourse. Lack of estrogen - During menopause, the vaginal walls thin and the amount of vaginal lubrication decreases. Vulvodynia - In this condition, the vulva is hypersensitive and extremely tender on touch. Drug side effects - Common drugs including those for allergy, high blood pressure or depression may affect the amount of vaginal lubrication, as well as the level of sexual arousal and desire. Physical problems - Scar tissue from abdominal surgery or from delivering a baby can distort the anatomy and cause significant pain during intercourse. A cyst on an ovary can also cause pain. Pelvic floor myalgia - Pelvic floor muscle spasms are involuntary muscle spasms and can result in difficult and uncomfortable sex. Emotional issues - Sometimes, past issues such as sexual abuse or communication problems in a relationship can translate into sexual difficulties

Also add vulvar vestibulitis. It's where the vestibule is tender to the touch. It's usually diagnosed with a "Q-tip" test. Can make penetration crazy painful! Also tampon insertion pain!

Niki as you can see from this topic and the topic I had previously directed you to, there are a few of us who have pain with intercourse or have had at some point. If it's an issue for you it is advisable that you see a doctor for help and advice.

I have been dealing with painful intercourse for 20 years and hate to admit it, but when my doctor told me 20 years ago that there was nothing they could do about my endo, I believed him and self treated for 20 years. It has destroyed my 20 year marriage and caused many other issues. I have a lap and possible hyst this Friday. Hopeful that if they do the hyst, I can have painless intercourse.... anyone know if hyst will make the pain go away during sex???
