[quote=Anonymous]Oh my goodness, thanks so much to the person who "bumped" this thread! I read several pregnancy forums and hadn't come across anything about this before. What a relief!!!! I'm 39 weeks and started experiencing "arthritis of the vagina," as I jokingly describe it to my husband, about 2 weeks ago. Mentioned it to OB & midwife but they didn't really have any helpful reply, not even an "oh that's very common." I had chalked it up to the same joint achiness I started getting around the same time in my hands and feet, a result of fluid buildup, but from the helpful link someone posted above, sounds like this type of vaginal pain has a different cause. I'm having the exact same symptoms as everyone else mentioned -- vaginal/inner-thigh pain when standing up from a seated position, lifting one leg, rolling over, etc. I can barely walk, especially in the morning. Its compounded by random pinching of the nerve in my right-thigh-groin, very painful, which seems to happen when baby is moving around. Like the other posters mentioned, I have seen some improvement when I go for a short walk. If I can tough out the first ten minutes, the last ten minutes are somewhat less painful. Walking in the grass seems to hurt less. On hard surfaces, the impact of each step is painful. At least I'm close to the end of this pregnancy. C'mon baby![/quote]
