I'm in so much pain, and don't know what to do!!

[stillinpain]

I had a huge attack of somesort. Kinda crazy that I don't know what causes it, but **** it hurts so bad I don't know whats going on. I'm still fighting off the two infecxtions I have right now, but I don't think these two are linked together. I'm really thinking its kidney stones. I wasnt feeling that great today. I had already talkedd to my doc and they told me not to work this weekend and just rest till I can see my doc on Tuesday. I have been so nauseus for almost three days now. So said its the infection and if I get a fever I have to go to the ER right away. From the infection I just feelsick...like my body wont work..ya know??
But when this attack happens it is so painful
I think this is the sixth attack I ve had this Summer. The Uroligists are complete idiots here, everyone I go to tries to blame the hyst and troubles with it on my problems. Then my GYN likes to blame it on my Bladder. I just dont know what to do. I'm going to try to lay back down, but if it starts again I'll have to call 911 and have them come get me. And Derek's like...you need to find another doctor this is crazy..he thinks I need a new Uroligist. We only have two and both are complete jerks!! I'm getting my meds for IC through my General Doctor...THANK GOD!!

I dont understand what else it could be. It has to be kidney stones. I had just had popcorn took a drink of my pop, then went to the bathroom. I went pee and when I was done it started. I could barely stand up it was bad. It is so painful.....I think I had to crawl down the hallway and I layed there for about ten minutes. It was like going through labor...but with no baby. I dont know what to do. This has been going on a little over an hour now....I wish it would stop. I think there are two different things going on here and I don't think I can handle this much more. I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of being sick. I am 29 and for the past four years I've barely left my house. When we have plans something always happens and we cancel or just not show up. Its a good thing I called work today and told them my doc wont release me back till he sees me on Tuesday. Cuz with this happening now, my work would have been like yeah right!

I just want this to end. I feel worse now than before my hyst. Earlier this week I felt good for two days, followed by 5 days of severe pain happening. I was just laying in the hallway just yelling and crying....Derek doesn't do anything for me. He says tell me whats wrong....kinda hard to talk when your crying, bouncing all over the place trying different things to get it to stop. I wish one of these times hed rub my back or something, till its over.
I dont know what I should do, I am so drained from all of this :toilet:

Thanks girls!

Love and Huggs,

I didnt mean to swear in the post above...I am sorry

So sorry you're having such a difficult time. You need to call your doctor and inform him/her of the extreme pain that you are in. You didn't mention what type of infections you have. If it's a UTI, the medication you are on may not be effective. Also, going the the ER would be a good idea. Another suggestion would be to follow the IC diet. Please keep us informed as to how you are doing. Hugs..........Leslie

Hi Jodee,
I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful. This disease is brutal... Is there a nearby city with different urologists to try for a second opinion? When I first got sick, I also got the runaround between urologists & gynecologists... The only way I could get treatment was my mom came & got me & drove me to her community where none of the doctors knew each other & didn't feel the need to defend each others' wrong diagnoses.

Just a thought too. Pop is listed as one of "the five worst foods for IC". Are you on the IC diet? If you haven't tried it, here it is...

Hoping you feel better soon!!!

Jodee,

It might be wise to contact your doctor and let them know, again, what is going on. If you don't get a satisfactory response from him, it might be time to go to the ER.

One word in your post really jumped out at me....POP. Leslie and Kadi both mentioned the diet and they gave you good advice. Soda pop is one of the worst possible flare and pain triggers for many of us. If you aren't following the diet, I would strongly encourage you to do so immediately. Kadi gave you the link to the diet info page where you will find all the information about it. Also, be sure and drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated and to flush out any irritants you may have ingested.

Jodee...I am so sorry you are in such horrible pain. Please try to see a doctor about it. I am sending you some gentle :grouphug: and soft :kissing:

[ICNDonna]

If your pain hasn't eased by now, I would have to agree that a trip to ER would be a good idea.

Also --- if you're drinking soda pop --- don't --- that alone can cause severe pain in an IC bladder.

Sending gentle hugs,
Donna

I hope you are better soon. (((((((((((big hug))))))))))

This is another thought. I had trouble after my hyst. with not emptying my bladder. It lasted for a few months and caused great pain. The docotor can easily check it by ultrasound or by you emptying your bladder and then they put in a catheter to see if any urine remains. Best wishes
