I was having a lot of pain and pressure and it turned out I have fibroids

No. I just have lots of uti.s.. I really don’t know as I’m always uncomfortable but the dr. Doesn’t seem too concerned. Sounds miserable

Yes, I have had the same problem for years. Many years the urologist instilled Rimso+ Steroid every month in my bladder. It seemed to help me a lot. He retired and a new dr said it does not help. Made me feel crazy. Anyway, last few months has been bad. I understand IC is common among those with fibro.

Do see a urologist. Only they can look in your bladder and know what is going on. It is an office test and not painful except for your dignity.

*raising my handsI was diagnosed in 1999 but according to my doctor and my records I should have been dxed in 1991.

I am glad you have made an appt with an urologist for they are the ones who can diagnose you with IC.

If I can be of any help please just ask.
