    I will BJ but I just wanted some opinions from here first. I have recently moved and have not seen a Dr here as yet so I am a little apprehensive about going to one that I don't know about this. I'm a bit of a sook.

    Don't blame you. I would be too.
    I have no idea. Sorry. I do hope you find something that helps though.

    Oshani - I had similar, and it was the scar tissue. I ended up seeing a post-natal specialist physio and she gave me "exercises". Pretty much it's scar tissue. Think about a cut on your arm. You have a cut, you get stitches, and then after the actual wound has healed, the scar is raised and tender. For the first while when you touch the scar, it hurts - its just sensitive.

    The exercises she gave me were to touch the scar tissue. Using lube, just touch the tissue, like a tap with your finger. (or DH's finger - it really helped for him to do it!) and keep doing that until you desensitise the area. Light taps to begin with, then harder taps as you go along. It took months before DTD didn't hurt any more ... but now its better than ever and DH is a lot more "considerate".

    HTH.

    I had a tiny little internal 'graze' with my first DD and even now- 3 years later it gets sore from time to time, and i have been told that it will get better with time but when i am more hormonal than usual it kind of swells and gets sore and if we DTD at that time it will be sore fora few days.

    I would go and get it checked out by a gyno!
