Anyone have pain when their clitoris is touched?

Its very normal Im afraid...even underwear touching that area is very painful. I use ice a lot to desensitize that area.

I get a pain that travels the exact same route at the back of my thigh near the top, but my clitoris doesn't hurt,the pain just pings across there when it is touched. It is extremely weird but when I examined this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/c ... ray832.png it could be the perineal branch as the pain follows a similar path (only to one side).
Anyone else get this as I haven't heard anyone mention it. Are you meaning clitoral pain when touched there?

Pain at site and travels up through my pelvic area. Ugh.

Add me to the list that has this. Dr hibner thinks I have dorsal and perineal branch issues.

That would make sense Merrie, What is your next step with it?
I just wonder if the nerve is entrapped further up as mine is supposed to be why do I have this ridiculous shooting pain (not quite the electric shock type though) when touched there? Might find out one day when it's gone.

Merrie,

Did that show up on your MRI last year?

Helen,

I"m thinking wherever the nerve is irritated/entraped, it affects the branches and areas distal to that entrapment. Is that correct ladies and gents?

That was my thought too. It will be fantastic when we can correlate an individuals symptoms with individual entrapments. All of these discussions are going to help with that.

Add me to the list of clitoral pain. It is easily the worst of my symptoms. I would love to connect w/ any of you to find out how you deal with it. I am on 100mg of gabapentin 3x/day (a total of 300mg/day). I started w/ 300mg 3x/DAY (total of 900) and that was way too much for me. the 100mg tabs are so much better for side effects!! But, I don't know, when I get a flare my clitoris is so incredibly sensitive that every movement is out of this world. The gaba has helped. Also I am seeing Dr. Hibner in December and heard about the dorsal nerve injections he is now doing so that may be of some help but extremely anxiety provoking b/c one has to be put under for it. Any help on how you all deal with this would be great, with me it's mostly anxiety and emotionally dealing with the pain. Also, I live in MN if there is anyone out there with the same symptoms who would like to get together to discuss. Good luck and healing to us all.
