Help! Going to the UR today, questions?

[educdawg]

I started with symptoms last week (urgency, frequent urination, bladder pain and tendernous, constant burning even when I am not peeing). Urinalysis and cultures were negative at the ER. Took Cipro and Urised for a week with no relief. I am now taking Lortab and pyridium. pain has lessened, but is back today. I think the Lortab is keeping it tolerable. CT for stones was negative. A second urinalysis showed a trace of blood.

Can IC cause blood in the urine?

I have an appointment with a UR today. What questions should i be sure to ask today?

When you say blood do you mean you see blood in your urine or there was microscopic blood in your urine when you did a urinalysis at the ER?
I have microscopic blood in my urine for many years. It is coming from the IC.
