      Haven't heard from it but I'll ask my docotro tomorrow. Keep us posted.
      I've heard of botox injections for V V and IC, and I've heard of interferon injections for V V as well.

      UTIs since mid 2004
      Recurrent yeast infections since mid 2005
      IC dx 3/2006
      V V dx 12/2006
      Other conditions: IBS, allergies, dry eyes.

      Current IC medications:
      Elavil (since 12/06) 10 mg;
      Cysta Q (since 5/07)
      Rephresh acid jel every 3 days
      D-mannose, fish oil, Calcium Citrate, Multivitamins & garlic pills (sometimes)
      Probiotics Femdophilus or other brands
      Gy-Na-Tren for yeast infections (started using it as needed since 2010)
      Other Rx:Omeprazole 20mg; benadryl as needed, Restasis

      Past Meds and why I stopped them:
      Elmiron: March to September 2006: headaches

      Cystoprotek: from Jan to April 2007: nausea
      Femcon Fe (2/07 to 10/07):caused spotting/bleeding
      BCP:Loestrin (since Ocotber 2007) to stop spotting for 2 months. V V worse. Stopped the pill in Nov 07.

          I had a steroid injection into an extremely painful frozen shoulder last summer and it eased the pain enough so I could begin exercising.

              Hi,

              The first few hours after the injection my urethral pain went away. Then after the marcaine wore off I felt worse (as a result of the needle, I'm sure, given that I was bleeding).

              Today I feel about the same as always.

              The doc said I would probably need more than one round of these since the inflmmation is so bad. I will check every few days to see if the redness abates on the side they gave it to me. I think that would take a while though.

              Thanks for the responses!
