MEDS MEDS MEDS! Getting on the right medication allows us to live and think about something other than the diagnosis and the pain. I hope you can continue to keep your pain levels low and enjoy life. That is what we all strive for .

Hi,
How much do other folk's pain scale range?
In response to your question...My pain is mostly a constant annoyance, but some days it is worse. I wish I could figure out why it is so random. A constant annoyance doesn't sound so bad and I do consider myself lucky, however I just wish this annoyance was my knee, elbow, leg...anything but vagina! When I do have a flare up of pain, it seems that my gabapentin and a hot bath works to lessen it. I know I am different in the sense that heat helps, but that is just what does it for me.
I hope you find a good Dr and some meds that will help you.
Best wishes,
Gracie

Not sure what pain scale you use but I find this one to be the most descriptive:

Using that scale my pain was a 7 or 8 without meds -- between a 4 and 7 with meds.
