RE: Symptoms - IC Flare or Urethral syndrome

[klassdg]

I have had great luck with Rescue Instillations at my Dr's office.
I feel like I have a fire up my urethra - can barely walk.
I also have Vulvadynia, Vestibulitus, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and the IC.
I have been in Pelvic therapy at Hopkins for 8 months now - it helps a lot.

My symptoms in the last month seem different.
I did a home instillation 2 days ago, only to have
the symptoms return today.

I have pain around my Urethra.
I have taken Pyridum and Vistaril also.
I don't know if I should do another instillation as this
will irritate my Urethra.

How do I know if this is Urethral syndrome?
Coincidentally, I am not sure what urethral syndrome is.

In all the time I have been with this Uro, he has never
examined my Urethra, or anything.
My previous Dr. did a Cystoscopy, looked for tumors,
looked at kidney function, etc. Found I was A OK.

Thanks,
Diane

I would think it could be from the instill. I usually have urethra pain after my DMSO from the cathetar.
