hi batik,

I was diagnosed with vulvodynia at first, now I just call it nerve pain.
it sounds like you have a skin problem, or a small fibre neuropathy,
have you tried long term probiotics?
if gabapentin didn't work for you, it's not purely a nerve problem....
physical therapy works wonders. Uk has some good ones, especially at the royal free hosp in london.

sometimes the pelvic floor goes into spasms and this can create nerve pain because the tissues are not getting the oxygen they need.

Have you seen Wendy Reid? she is the best from what I gather

anyway, you are lucky. I have pure nerve pain down there and I can barely wash it and wipe
