    Went and saw my dr today and he is sending me to have Urodynamic Testing

    What surgery is he recommending? I was under the impression there is truely no cure for IC. I had UroDynamics 1 and 2 but it was done in the office. Hydrodistension is done under anestesia... having that on March 3 but i will already be in surgery so..

    Is that what they want to do? I am new to this so forgive me for asking.

        He wants to do the test first and then talk about it more after the test. we think that there is more going on that just the Ic. He knows that I do not want to have any more surgeries. I am thinking that I may need a bladder surgery or sling. Or maybe the adhesions are back.

        How did your recovery go from your reduction/revision?
        Mine has been a long road...

        Good luck on your upcoming surgery.

          April! I found you! I totally forgot your name on here!
          symptoms when in a flare:

          I feel everything in my urethra but I know its really my bladder. Pressure, stinging, urgency,tingling feeling thats hard to describe.
          *I have a fibroid on my uterus near my bladder.

          Medication
          100mg Amitripyline ( I have seriously gained almost 50lbs on this drug but I feel it works)
          Flexoril 10mg (doesn't work)
          Hydrocodone 5/325 PRN
          Cetalopram 40mg *severe anxiety over flare

          Physical therapy hasnt really helped but I love her! I've learned so much! She states that my muscles around
          My urethra are very tight.

          currently seeing a Gyn in my town and a Uro in Seattle (4 hrs away)

          I have had lots of long term remissions. Currently been struggling with good & bad days since Jan 2012
