I'm flaring today after urodynamics tests yesterday

[ibtracy]

Hi :( . I'm having a terrible flare today after having all the urodynamics testing done yesterday and having my first heparin instillment. I finally quit cyring long enough to post this. The pain is excrutiating today. I was curled up in a ball last night on the couch all evening and thought that it hurt bad then but this is worse. This is by far the worst pain I've had since being diagnosed with IC. I'm taking 20mg of oxycodone and darvocet which I just as well throw out the window it does nothing and then pyridium plus which helps a tiny bit. I can take up to two oxycodones for pain at one time and think I may have to step up on the pain meds so that I don't go crazy.

I had to call into work today - simply no way I can work when I feel like this. I'm sure there will be hell to pay tomorrow but frankly the way I feel right now, I don't really give a dam! :mad:

I've been in pain since last Friday but the catheters being inserted and pulled out so many times yesterday must of triggered something worse. I'm on antibiotics in case of infection because I usually get one after have caths put in for any reason.

I know I have to hang in there but is it too much to ask to just have one good day once in a while. This chronic pain thing is starting to take its toll on me and would give my right arm for a shot of Demerol. I've been considering taking myself to ER but really can't afford it right now. This just sucks, ya know?

:help:

Sending you BIG Cyber H U G S <<<>>>>. I had the Urodynamics done today....Im hurting right now and peeing worse then before (barely any pee just the frequency and urgencey).

I was given options for treatment to think over....your treatment was one of them but the "cocktail" was a bunch of different drugs mixed together as the Doc explained to me. Another option is the Biofeedback, Physical Therapy and Elec Stim which I think Im going to try. Its a 6 week program.

I hope you feel better. HUGS again...you need them:pray: Ill keep you in prayer for relief you poor thing.
