Hi, I have been diagnosed with IC for 8 years, most of them I was able to manage with diet and infrequent use of narcotics. Tried Elmiron, didn't work, trie Cymbalta, made me depressed. But I had my gall bladder taken out almost 2 years ago and have had daily bladder pain ever since. It gets so bad that my bladder pushes on my sciatic nerve in my low back and shoots down into my right leg. So anyway I am looking for any other IC sufferes in Alaska, and I am wondering if anyone else has had the same issue with gall bladder removal.
