I have posted on the forum many times in the past about the clitoral pain I have experienced, which really has affected my life and caused me to develop depression/anxiety. I am 23 years old and the pain initially started four years ago in January 2007 after masturbation. Although I had never used a vibrator I believe that I caused damage to nerves in my clitoris as the pain started instantly after a very intense orgasm. Before this I was masturbating around 3 times a night, one after the other. I remember noticing sensitivity around a week before the chronic pain began, but I thought nothing of it and I never realised it was possible to cause nerve damage to this part of the body.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I was in constant pain for six months, which gradually eased and I was able to have enjoyable sex and orgasm again without pain; however, this was fairly short-lived as I started to experience clitoral pain again in March 2008. This time I began having nerve pain in other areas of my body, such as my legs, feet, hands, arms and my head. Between March 2008 and July 2010 it has been on and off and I have had one orgasm since which was in summer 2010, which amazingly caused little pain.
Since July 2010 I have rarely had any pain, which caused me to get my life back together and begin my studies again. I am currently in my first year at university. I have been able to have sex, but not orgasm. I doubt I will ever have another orgasm again because of the terrible pain I have been through. This is very frustrating and has caused me to become very depressed.
Last week I was cleaning my windows in my bedroom and was stood on my desk, when i slipped and fell back onto my chair, legs apart!!! so i basically landed on the back of the chair on my vagina. The pain was excruciating and my clitoris looks really swolen still. I have developed even more pain elsewhere in my body then I had last time and my head feels so tight that it might explode. I feel so stressed and anxious at the moment, I have panic attacks all the time and fear that I will die from this.
I visited my gp and explained what had happened but she said nothing appaeared to be wrong and that it could be a yeast infection, even though i specifically said i had fallen on my vagina and badly hit my clit and fear i have a nerve injury... she didn't agree as everything looks fine. I don't really know what I expected since in the past this was the usual response from doctors... thrush, a water infection etc. She also tried to pass it off as anxiety/stress since I have been in a lot about my panic attacks and fear of death which developed last year. So now because of my medical history, they thing its psychological.
I just can't believe this has happened again, I feel extremely sensative, achey, like i'm being stabbed down there, a really hot, knife like pain which travels to my head and causes me to feel sick. I also feel as if i'm being strangled and both sitting and lysing down cause me severe pain.. standing and gentle walking somewhat ease it. This is now causing me to fall behind with my studies and I fear I will fail the year now. I thought I had overcome the worst of it and the nerves were gradually healing and one day I would be completely cured, but not anymore, back to square one and I really do feel i'd be bettter off dead since I can't handle another minute of this horrible pain.
