Also known as painful intercourse syndrome, vulvodynia is an often-oversimplified diagnosis for a very complicated and debilitating syndrome. Pudendal neuralgia is inflammation of the pudendal nerve. This condition causes burning or stabbing pain in the genitals, urethra or anus. The pain often gets worse over the course of a day and is exacerbated by sitting. Both conditions make sex incredibly painful.
Sex should not cause you persistent pain. It can get better. You’re not alone.

Guest Blogging on Vulvodynia
Last week an article I wrote was published on the Body Chronic site. The title is "Chronic Pain in the Office: How to Work Through It."
In the article, I summarize my experience getting accommodations at work for my chronic pain. I've written about this issue a number of times here, but this article brings the whole story together.
