Yes Lynne the study you mentioned in your
response is the in question by Gillespie, Bray, Levin and Delamarter Lumbar Nerve Root
Compression and Interstitial Cystitis- Response to Decompressive Surgery from the British Journal of Urology. My IC symptoms
mirror those of the ten in the study. My
Urodynamic test show Detrusor Muscle Instabilty ie nerve problems. I go about
40+ times a day, lots of pain and I am unable
to empty properly. I sometimes have a residual of 180cc, I sometimes now go into
retention. I have Fibro,TMJ and IBS all of
which some feel are attributed to spinal cord injury. I am not putting too much hope in this but the MRI is well worth it. Here in
Canada you can wait up to a year to get a MRI. I only have to wait 2 months, I have nothing to lose. I am sorry to hear that the surgeries that you had did not help your IC.
This is such an incidious disease but I will
with God's help continue to try and defeat it. If this root is not the answer, I will try another approach, although I am running
out of choices as I have tried all the conventional treatments except Interstim, which I am not convinced is the answer for me. Once again thanks for you imput. God Bless
