" Hi Sara:

I am sorry your experience all these symptoms. What your experiencing love is possible bladder discomfort, vulvodynia which means pain that can extend from the clitoris to the vaginal opening and create some irritation and sorness, also the pain you feel in your buttocks can be due to your levator ani muscle.

If you would like some help with these symptoms feel free to come and join Stacey below and many other woman and men who are have the same symptoms and understand what your going through .....stop by www.icfriend.ning.com and check it out and if you like what you see I hope you join us.

I realize your in another country but I would be more than glad to speak with you sometime via telephone or we can chat privately at the IC friends meeting place if you have questions and concerns.
I can give you information , education and tips on how to manage.
Stacey and i will be coming out with an ebook to help people manage these symptoms at home.

Hope to hear from you.
