Thread: vaginal wall/cervical pain--no cramps

Hello ladies!! I am new here and am so happy to have found this amazing forum!

Here is my problem:

In November of 2008, I oddly got (what I assume) was a yeast infection. I treated it and symptoms went away. I say oddly developed because prior the only time I had ever had any type of vaginal problem was when I was pregnant with my son. I also had my period start a week early the next month, which was REALLY odd because my periods are ALWAYS exactly 28 days and very very predictable. I didn't worry about it too much and moved on.

In January, I found out I was pregnant. Ok great! I was happy about it. In February, I developed a bacterial infection which I treated with prescription cream. Symptoms were gone. However, all throughout my pregnancy I had UTI's and yeast infections. Later in my pregnancy, I developed a pain in my cervix and vaginal wall along with a watery-like discharge. These symptoms had me in the doctor many times b/c I thought my water had broke. Everything checked out normal and the pain was associated with my tipped uterus and being very very pregnant.

I had my baby September 2009. I breastfed for the first 6 weeks. I thought after that my periods would go back to normal. They did not and I still had vaginal and cervical pain and then developed abdominal pain. Finally, in Feb. 2010, my doctor tested me for Gardernella (spelling?) and I tested positive. I was given the anti-biotics. The discharge and abdominal pain went away, BUT I still have cervical/back vaginal wall pain. It feels achy and sore..sometimes a very COLD feeling? I don't know..just not right.

After months of complaining and a uterine biopsy, I had a laparascopy done October of 2010. The doctor found 50 Endometiosis lesions behind my uterus and burned them out. Ok great. (I thought) Now, November 2010 (2 years later) I still have this cervical/vaginal wall pain. The endometriosis is clearly not causing this as I had no abdominal pain..it's only in my cervix/vaginal wall. It is worse when I start ovulating and I feel my best when my period starts. I feel fine the first week after my period and then when ovulation starts my pain starts all over again.

Can anyone tell me what this is? I have recently made an appointment with another GYNO but my appt. is not until Nov. 24. I do not have insurance so all this time I have paid out of pocket. My savings is now non-existant and I feel so discouraged. I cannot keep dealing with this pain. Also, when the pain starts I get very bloated. I still have a significant discharge that changes from water to thick but I have been tested and every time it comes back fine so I think it's normal discharge. It has changed from before I got pregnant but I eat much healthier now and do not smoke or drink anymore, either. My underwear are wet, very wet, when I am done exercising or walking for longer than 10 min. Even mopping my floors makes me need to change my underwear.

Please help!
