    A new symptom

    Oh Joy! I have a new symptom! Ugh! I have been having this fun feeling of my urethra being pinched when I am just about done peeing. When I start to get this pinching feeling my stream seems to end right afterwards and I feel like I have emptied my bladder.
    Then I get up and flush and wash my hands and the sound of the water running makes me feel like I have to pee again. I sit back down on the toilet and go another 1/2 to maybe 2 oz. This is only a minute after I get up and I felt like I was done. I'm guessing this is part of the IC? Has anybody else had this problem?
    I guess I'll mention it to the uro since I go tomorrow morning to find out the results of my biospy that he did during my hydro. Wish me luck with that.

    I have been diagnoised for 6 1/2 years now. I have taken a long break from the ICN but really miss helping out my fellow IC patients and want to get back into posting.
    1st hydro 4/07 showed no visible signs of IC but tons of mast cells in all my biopsy samples which did prove IC.
    2nd hydro 4/13/09 showed dark purple glomerulations and I had a capacity of 450 cc's. This hydro proved that my IC had progressed.
    I have tried every oral medication as well as rescue instills and DMSO.

    I have been lucky enough to see Dr Hanno, the top IC specialist in PA who has told me due to the fact that I have not responded to any "standard" treatments that I have a severe, end stage case of IC with a horrible quality of life (didn't have to tell me that last part!)

    I have that same trouble daily, ans have had it for about 2 years now, if they tell you something that seems to help let me know, that is so frustrating.
