I've had off-and-on IC-like symptoms for about 4 yrs now. Mostly pressure and pain, especially after I go to the bathroom. The uro said he thought I might have a "mild" case of IC... but no tests for that were actually done. This past week I've been so uncomfortable, he put me on Macrobid.. again. And, again, it hasn't provided any relief. I called the office today, feeling brave, and told them I thought I needed a cysto. The receptionist (or nurse) called me back, telling me I hadn't given it enough time, to wait 'till Monday.
I'm angry and frustrated because I feel like...it's been 4 years!! Shouldn't I at least have a test to rule out bladder cancer or something even worse than IC? Why aren't we talking about medications or treatments that I've been reading about here on this site... like oral drugs or pelvic floor therapies? I've called another uro in NYC who I read about on this site... do you think I'm doing the right thing to jump ship??? Thanks.
