I take Nuerontin, but just started as I needed a nerve blocker. I just wondered if I should ask about Elavil for more nerve blocking and getting rid or lessening of the burning.

Hi,
I am new to this chat. I was diagnosed with Vuvodynia October 2007 by Iowa City Vulvodynia clinic. They were no real help.
Recently I joined the NVA and they are wonderful.
I found Dr. Meltzer through them in NorthBrook Il. He found a rare yeast and helped me get rid of it. I now have neuropathic pain. He told me to find a pain clinic with a neuropathic doctor who could give me a pudental nerve block. I have had 3 so far. The first two were not given into the pudental nerve correctly. Yesterday's block got to the vulva area and has lessened the pain a little and I will have another next week.
I use an ice pack on the vulva area a lot which is annoying.
I tried neurotin before and went off of it for my hysterectomy in Feb 2008.
I am going to try amitripilyn starting at 25mg tonight and may retry neurotin later. Hope I am helpful
