When I was about 11 I had an accident at a public sports centre, I was walking on a row of chairs, set up like chairs in the cinema, i.e you push on the back and they flip up. I fell, and landed astride the chair. It was AGONY?. My mum took me to hospital and I had two nights in hospital while they monitored me, my labia basically swelled up to golf ball size and went black. At the time I had no idea about sexual stuff, I remember the doctor describing it to a team of junior doctors (so embarrassing to go through having loads of people looking at my privates at that age) that I had ?smashed my clitoris? I had no idea what a clitoris was then? since then my labia are very protruding, not golf ball size but it?s pretty noticeable and I?ve always been very self conscious about it. I?ve never enjoyed sex, I can come, but it takes forever, even with toys etc. I?m certain it?s because of the accident and that I just don?t have full sense of feeling as I should have down there.
Does anyone know if I could claim on their liability insurance for this? I know there is normally a time limit but it?s only now as an adult (I?m 34 now) I?m realizing that my sex issues are most likely down to that accident. I don?t want to phone one of those numbers and have to explain it to some giggly ambulance chaser about my funny labia so hoping some fellow Mumsnetters can give me some advice!
