My bladder is doing good. The cysto/hydro looked good. Because I was having so much pelvic pain with standing and walking, I had a cystogram on Thursday and everything is just where it is suppose to be! (nothing dropped) I talked the ur about the pelvic pain being so bad, he suggested I start physical therapy. I told him about bowel movement being the 'gotta go' NOW feeling. He said all the muscles in the pelvic area controlled everything.
I had been out of work last week, (mostly in bed) the depression was getting to me so I decided to get out of the house yesterday and within 30 minutes trying to shop the pelvic pain started. I tried to tough it out a little longer but the more walking I did it my lower back started to hurt so bad I had to just give up and start home. When I was on my way home (alone) I started having back spasms. I was in tears and didn't think I was going to make it home. (I think I would have went to the ER if that had been closer) Upon arriving home I went to bed with valium and heat. I felt better so 6 hours later I decided to go to the grocery store, same thing happened but this time much worse .... cramping:headbang: and when I started driving the spasms in my back worse than before.
I say all that to ask..... has anyone else had this problem?
Is all this pain coming from IC or do I seek out yet another medical opinion? Oh I went to gyno to check to make sure it was not scar tissue from hysterectomy. I am hurting and confused
:confused: Denise someone please help :(

I suggest you contact your primary care physician for some advice. Then if you need to be referred to someone about your back pain, he will do the referral. I like having a primary care doc to oversee my entire health picture.

"New" pain should always be checked out.

Warm healing thoughts,
Donna

I also get back spasm .. My doctor is running some more tests and hopefully I can find out what the cause is. I would give your doctor a call. Best wishes and hope your feeling better.

:pray: & :grouphug: for you, Denise,

You should contact your physician as so many things can contribute to back pain & spasms. It is your body's signal to you that something is wrong and only your physician can really assess and find the answer for you.

Keep us posted as to how you're doing--We care:kiss:

Hugs & blessings to you--:cat:

Hi I agree with the other gals posts, I would get it checked out. I, like Donna have a primary care health provider, she is a Nurse Practitioner, and she takes care of my general health. I have back pain, but no spasms. Hope you can get some relief and find out what is going on with your back. Keep us posted and soft soft hugs, Iris.:hi: :grouphug: :flower:

I did pelvic floor muscle physical therapy and it helped a lot. I hope your doctors can figure out what's causing your pain.
