My pain specialist just gave me a Flector Patch to try. She said that only 2% of the medicine reaches the bladder compared to 100% from taking Ibuproferen orally. Has anyone tried something like this?

That sounds very interesting! I had an NSAID cream that they used on my hip during physical therapy. I wonder if that is similar?Julie Beyer, MA, RDN

Julie,
My old IC specialist, Dr Rackley at the Cleveland Clinic said to NEVER EVER take NSAIDS. They do a lot of damage to the bladder.
Just wanted to give you a heads up!!
Many hugs and blessingsMARY
Serenity isn't freedom from the storm.....it's peace within the storm.....I had my sick bladder removed Jan 7th 2010.....Even though I had many complications.......I would do it again in a moment.....I have no regrets......Sunflowers in memory of my sister who passed March 14th 2010......they were her favorite....Comment
