I feel for your wife on the migrain issue as my son has debilitating migraines. The main reason I'm responding to your thread is that you say your wife has pian during intercourse and has been to an OB/GYN. If I may ask, what test, if any, did they perform on her? Pain is NOT NORMAL during sex. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/t_down.gif I was having the same problem as well and even had some constant low back pain. I went to an OB/GYN who basically said it was all in my head. http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/blob_fire.gif After about 9 months went by, the pain was unbearable so I wwent to another OB/GYN. He did a few test but found nothing. He then talked to me about doing a laproscopy(the OB uses a scope to look into the lower abs at the female organs)to check for conditions that can't be found through more non-evasive procedures. He did the lap and, BINGO, I had a condition know as "endometriosis". I have been symptom free since he did the lap and cleaned the endo. A lot of OB's don't listen to their female patients and endo goes undiagnosed until the patient finds an OB who will listen and perform the necessary tests. A lap is the ONLY way to confirm endo as it does not show up on ultrasounds and can't be found by regular vaginal exams. This condition is also more common for women who have never had children for some reason. If she has not had a laproscopy done and has no explained reason for the pain, I suggest she talk to her OB about the possibility of endometriosis. If the OB say she does not have it and did not perform a lap to check for it, THEN PLEASE GO TO A DIFFERENT OB!!!! That OB has done a big The only way to know is with a lap and any OB who who says otherwise isn't worth the degree they have hanging on their wall. My husband and I could have been spared a lot of pain and frustration if the first OB would have taken the time to LISTEN to my complains and symptoms. Please let me know what you have discovered.
