Anyone who knows anything about me knows that my life is filled with pain. Not just little cramps, pain that doesn't go away even with a heavy load of narcotics. I have tried everything, nothing is working. I have been waiting to hear from a gyn in Calgary. I got the letter today. In it was brochures about Interstim. It sounds like that is what they want to try for me as a last resort before a bladder removal. I am 26! I have had IC for 11 months (of pain), 9 months since my diagnosis. I have heard that interstim does not help for pain. Is this true? The booklets that came with the letter did not talk about helping with the pain, only frequency and urgency. These are not my symptoms. Is there any hope for me? Please, if any of you have had success with interstim and pain, please let me know. I don't know what to do now, but cry and wait and pray and hope. Should I make the appointment? Should I give it a try? Is ther anything else they can do for me? As it is now, even the drugs don't help much.
