So I have just about tried everything and have decided that the hydro is my next option. I tried instills and had terrible urethra pain and bladder cramping afterwards so they do not think that is a good option for treatment. The meds I am on are working a bit but not enough to really make my life livable again. I am constantly at a 9 for pain and have decided it can't get much worse so let's give this a try. I would like to know who has and hasn't had success with this and if you haven't what options have worked for you. I am curious as to where I go from here if this doesn't work but I am going to be optimistic and put my faith in this procedure. I really hope this works for me and hope you will all keep me in your prayers this Friday 9/30/11. Please, please send me your thoughts and prayers this Friday. Thank you and it will be an outpatient procedure but I will be put under for it.

Take:
Elmiron 2 twice a day
Cymbalta once a day
Low dose Valium once a day
Atarax once a day
Lydocaine gel as needed
Tramadol as needed
Oxycodone as needed
Diagnosed with severe IC April 2011
Suffered for 8 years without a diagnoses
I'm 23 and have always had issues but when I was 16 things got much worse. I saw urologists, pediatricians, and gynecologists and nobody had any answers it was either in my head or an infection. Finally found a wonderful doctor who diagnosed me with IC.
