Since I wasn't posting on these boards during the time this subject was first discussed, I'd like to revisit the topic of later in life intimacy.

My husband and I have always had a great sex life, until he ruptured a spinal disc. We had to resort to alternate methods of keeping our intimate life alive, before and after he had surgery.

Now, I seem to be suffering from vaginal dryness or worse. Basically, it's painful for me. I feel embarrassed about discussing this with my new gyn.

Has anyone on this board had this problem? I'm 58, but still very much interested in keeping our sex life alive.
