Hey, if you can read this please I'd really appreciate it.
I'm 24 (female),7 months ago I started having really severe lower abdominal pain (which I am still suffering from). So first thing the doctor ordered were urine and blood tests, all came back fine. But from then on I've been to an endless row of doctors, among them a gynecologist and a gastoentrolgist, I've had numerous tests--(none related to urology btw) all came back clean. A couple of days ago my gp decided to order me another urine test....It came back showing WBC in my urine. He failed to mention the culture was negative, gave me antibiotics for a week, and I'm still taking them. But out of curiosity I googled "WBC in urine without bacteria" and found this place.
I am seriously banging my head against the wall right now because I never mentioned to any of the doctors I saw the fact that I have to pee every minute... for the simple fact that it's always been a problem of mine, I thought it was because I had a small bladder or something, I never connected it with my stomach pain. (possibly a mistake of epic proportions) So after reading about IC and its symptoms, I'm starting to get very concerned that I have it.
I already suffer from clinical depression, not to mention these last 7 months advanced me to being suicidal, and now I find out there's a chance I'm going to have this chronic pain for the rest of my life... Right now I'm wondering(and hoping) that there's still a chance I may have something else entirely...or maybe a UTI without detected bacteria? it that even possible? I've been on the antibiotic for 3 days now and there's no change, perhaps I need to wait more for it to take affect?
Anyone have any thoughts? does it look like I have IC?
I know I won't know for sure until I see a urologist, but I can't get this out of my head.
(Also,excuse the grammar, English is not my native tongue)
