Cramping

[Shannonmarie018]

I've been feeling a lot better since I've been diagnosed back in February. I think my flares are starting to get under control. I do have frequency issues every once in a while but it usually is related to something I ate. Just wondering if anyone else gets this. When I go to the bathroom I don't really have any pain when I go until almost the end and sometimes I'll have some cramping pressure in my bladder at the end of emptying. Just wondering if anyone else gets this. I don't get it all the time just every once in awhile even when I'm following the diet.

hi Shannon
That's great your symptoms are getting under control since diagnosis. Mine did, too, and now I have a pretty good treatment plan set up. I also don't have burning when I go until I finish emptying. I usually take 1 pyridium a day, and that seems to help, as well as drinking lots of water to keep the urine diluted. Hope you continue to feel better:)

HI Shannon,
Yep I have the problem at the end of going too. Once in a while it's right after I finish going. It's just part of good ol'IC! It's great that most of your IC problems are under control now. I'm doing pretty good most days too. It's been a looonnnggg time coming though! Have a great Sunday......Roxie

I have this problem some days too. It feels like when it's almost empty it starts to spasm like it's unhappy that it's empty. The worst for me is when the spasm continue after I've left the bathroom but that's only when I'm flaring usually.
