Mainly for the women here

I have been coming to this forum for a very long time now. I had a work related injury a few years ago that i have mainly been living with. I have a bulging disc at L4-5 with an annular tear and had an EMG to confirm chronic radiculapothy in my right leg from this. I also have 4 discs in cervical region that are either bulging or herniated. W.C. doctors are very easy to dismiss most problems that you complain of saying there is nothing more they can do and basically live with it. Which I guess is what i have been doing. I have pain everyday that I am dealing with and I have not worked in over a year now. They finally found a way to get get rid of me last year. Anyway here is my problem.
I am sure most of you can relate to the buzzing feeling that you may experience in your bodies from nerves being irritated. It feels almost a cell phone set on vibrate. Well I get this in my vaginal area. I have seen other posts where women have mentioned vaginal numbeness. Mine is not numb. I have this very annoying uncomfortable buzzing feeling. It usually comes and goes but lately it has been around for quite a few days now. I used to be able to relieve it by lying down with some pillows propped under my knees but that is not working anymore. I did notice though in certain positions it will leave my vagina and go to my right foot. I would rather have it there. Motrin has helped a little and I am not one to take alot of medication so my flexerill prescription has expired and I do not want to take old medicine. I may have to call my family doc today for a refill. I try all different positions and sometimes my heating pack helps. Any suggestions ladies? I am getting a little desperate. I should mention that I do not think it is a bladder infection or antthing like that. I have no pain in that department. I have had this in the past and I can usually get it to go away but not this time. This was one of the problems I brought up with the men W.C. doctors that they just dismissed as not important. I no longer see these doctors as they have declred me MMI over a year ago. I am waiting for my case to be settled to see a specialist of my choice as I do not want any of these so called doctors to touch my back or neck again.
So any one out there with any vaginal issues or problems write back and let me and everyone else know how you are dealing with them. It can be very embarrassing trying to explain to people what is going on.
Thanks and have a good day.  I will be buzzing away awaiting anyone's comments.........

no because when I had mentioned it to the doctor before he just said oh yeah that sounds like a nerve Blah blah and went on to anthoer subject. I actually just took a very good much needed nap. I finally found a new position to releive it for awhile. Instead of lying with my back against the couch I turned the other way and leaned my right leg up against the back of the couch and it went away. As soon as i got up it started again. At least i found one new position to help relieve the pressure on my nerve. Thank Goodness.
Thanks for taking the time and repling. I appreciate it.
