Most of my symptoms are gone except for a constant burning in my clitoral area. This has been constant for the past month. It gets worse when I am sitting down. I have no idea what this could be but it is driving me crazy. I have been doing some research and I think I might have clitordynia or prudendal nerve damage. Is this possible? Is there anything else this could be? I am starting to get very scared.
