Hi!
I've been on the boards for a while, and recently I've been doing really well. Today, out of nowhere I got pain right in my bladder area that literally knocked me off my feet. I was on the couch, with the heating pad and I took Vicaden and Pyridium. It felt like I was being stabbed 1000 times. I could not stand up. I literally had to focus on my breathing - it was like labor when you are dialated to 8 I swear. I couldn't have the tv on or hear any noise...I was in SO MUCH PAIN. The pain lasted 1 hour - then subsided of for the next 30 minutes, then BAM went away as suddenly as it came on. Thank God it went away - I felt like my insides were being ripped out.
My question - is IC pain like this for anyone else?? I had no frequency/urgency or burning like so many people describe during a flare. I feel like others on this board don't describe what I feel like. How can I feel like this at times, have IC, and not have regular IC symptoms or diet sensitivities? Could THIS still be my PFD? I did have internal massage much earlier in the day. That usually makes me feel better though, not worse.
Any insight is welcome. Today was scary......it was the worse crippling pain I ever felt besides all natural childbirth. If this would have happened in public, a stranger would have had to call an ambulance!!!
