Now that I know more of what is going on down there and have been on many meds, I know it is my urethra.
When this shooting pain happens, my life is pure hell. I have to limp to walk. It was gone for a long time but now is back.
I know I have to change my life b/c of IC. I will pee all day if I have to, but to be limping at 27 just makes me want to cry.
The pain hurts so bad, only Vicodin will help it. No lidocaine or OTC pain med will make a dent. I only have Vicodin right now left over from a surgery, I don't have an ongoing prescription.
I made an appointment with my URO Wednesday to discuss getting regular Vicodin for when this happens or maybe seeing if a bladder installation would help (I have never had one). I am nervous to ask b/c I feel like old doctors who didn't diagnose me thought I was a drug seeker, but I know I have to. I deserve to be able to walk without being in 10 pain.
I was also wondering if anyone feels that there would be any benefit to having an MRI??
When I was originally struggling with bladder and vaginal pain, a friend of mine who is a doctor (but only licensed to practice in another state and is in another sector of medicine so he couldn't help me) thought it could be to my benefit.
I have read stories of other people who have had things come back in an MRI that helped to put together pieces to the puzzle of their nerve pain below the belt. I am nervous to ask, again b/c I don't want to seem, crazy but I think i am going to.
Thanks for listening to my rant
