Wondering
I found this site while trying to find a reason for my pain. I have been experiencing terrible episodes of pelvic pain on my right side only for three weeks. The pressure and urgent need to urinate is always present during my episodes. They last anywhere from 4 to 12 hours. It seems to go away as suddenly as it comes on. I've had an ultrasound and ct scan ruling out any problem with my ovary or appendix. I don't have any problem with UTI's and am wondering if all IC sufferers have UTI's. I am desperate to find out what is ruining my life. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
