I was diagnosed last month with IC and I have been on strict IC diet for almost 2 months. I have had this sharp pain in lower left abdomen for 7 months (or more) and have had an ultrasound to check ovaries and uterus. I have also had a food allergy test in which I eliminated the food I was sensitive to 3 months ago. Through this whole thing the pain has been on and off and never gone away. I was also diagnosed with IBS when I was 22 which has stayed in remission (maybe until now).
I have had the impression that IC was pain near vulva area and NOT on top of abdomen wayyy over the side (not over bladder). Is it possible the pain I have is from IC? I went to my doctor today and she thinks it might be. She also thinks the whole area: bladder and bowel are just inflammed. So she wants me to take probiotic and omega-3 fatty acid. If this doesn't get better she wants me to go to gastro dr.
So, my question is have you ever had pain from IC in abdomen that was NOT over bladder but more towards side of body?? Did this go away, b/c I have had this sharp pain (sometime feels like a stabbing pain) for a long time and I am starting to get worried. thanks!
