Hello...

I started to have pressure in the bladder area in March. No pain, though. I have an increase in urgency but have realized that this doesn't always mean that I have to go, so I hold it without too much problem. I am going more than I used to, though. Also, I am not the most "regular" person in the world, so my family dr. thinks I could have IBS because the pressure also goes out towards my kidneys (sometimes I feel it in my lower back). I don't have any trouble with my exercise. I still feel the pressure, but I am able to walk 2-3 miles. I have had 3 urine tests, all negative for infection. I am at a loss. I had a gyn tell me there wasn't anything wrong with me, just lose weight and I would be fine. My family dr. says that is crap. Does this sound like IC?

Can your family Doc refer you to a Urologist?

The ICN Patient Handbook may help you find some information out to give to your doctors too: http://www.ic-network.com/handbook/

I hope one of your Doctors finds out what could be the cause and find some relief for you.

You could also try googling PFD.. Pelvic Floor Dysfuntion.. It cause you to have alot of pressure also..But I would try to get an appt with a URO..:angel:
