@lizziemnz Your symptoms sound like they are impacting your sleep. I'm sure you are looking forward to your upcoming appointment with the gynecologists.

You will notice that I moved your question to a previous discussion on this topic. I did so there was a central location for members to connect.

Below I have linked a discussion that names your diagnosis and expands on a treatment. @jenniferhunter started that discussion and she may know of other treatment.
- Myofascial Release Therapy (MFR) for treating compression and pain https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/myofascial-release-therapy-mfr-for-treating-compression-and-pain

May I ask if your GP suggested any symptom management treatment?

Thank you Erika. I was first prescribed a hormone cream which was ineffective, then a steroid cream which made my symptoms worse, I am now taking 50mg of amitriptlyne a day (started at 10 then 25mg). This seemed to help at first but the benefit did not last.

I guess he is trying to manage my symptoms by suggesting certain procedures which I have had and prescribing medications. At this point he has referred me to Emory Pain clinic since nothing has worked.
