I have tried just about every treatment possible for IC with very limited success.
I have always thought that the damage done to my spine in a car accident 2 years ago was the cause. No one listened to me as every Dr
has his or her own theories. All my symptoms of IC and Fibro began within weeks of my accident( severe whiplash). Well finally Dr
Henry of Kingston who started the Lidocaine treatments has discovered that in fact accidents may be a factor. In a study at the
University of CALIFORNIA Irvine 10 people with IC had spinal MRI'S and each was determined to have nerve root compression in the L5. Decomprssive surgery was performed on
all 10 and 9 were totally healed of pain and
the frequency was significantly reduced. Needless to say I am having a full spinal MRI
on May 14 to see if there is any damage. I know there is already due to previous xrays.
This may lead nowhere just like everything else I have tried, but I put my faith in God
and respect that his will be done. The more
I find out I will kepp you informed.
