Hi Jane and Julie - I'd be really interested too, to hear how you go with the physio. I went to a specialist physio re pelvic floor exercises when I had a hysterectomy a few years ago - she was very good.
Jane, re Yes. I've been using the water based vaginal moisturiser, and also the oil based lubricant on my partner. If you absolutely slather on the oil lubricant - on both of you - I've found it really does help lessen the pain significantly. You can buy it all online - if you get the big bag of moisturisers it qualifies as a bulk buy, and you also get free postage from the UK. It's really worth a try. I've got some Replens left over, and I really don't like it after using Yes. Best of luck with it all, Pam.
