my pain started after spin classes

**Just** · 03-06-2005, 09:47 AM

My journey w/ic started after participating in spin classes at my gym. after a week of spinnning , i couldn't sit down nor sleep. The dr said i was constipated and dismissed me from there. that was 5 years ago. I'm in pain severely at the moment , so i'll cut it short for now. i was just curious how others first came to have ic?.

wishing all well

I don't know how long i've had it but the doctor said when dx i had it from sometimes i have always had bladder and kidney problems since birth i was born with three kidneys and had surgery on my bladder twise before i was a year old.

I got IC the second period after I quit a birth control pill I'd been on for 10 years. It also started the 2nd day I took Wellbutrin (which I stopped IMMEDIATELY).

I suspect the bc pill connection more because I did get better when I went back on a pill and even better when I went back on the pill I'd been on before I got sick.

I did have 2 bladder surgeries as a child-2 x meatotomy & diletation...

Mine started right after I had a vagina hysterectomy. I was told after that that may have been the cause.

Mine started after an abdominal hysterectomy, which we now refer to as the abominable surgery!

Mine started after the birth of my second child. Went into remission for awhile, then had a hysterecomy in 2000, been pretty much downhill ever since.

Mine started after a very stressful period in my life. To this day, when I feel stressed I get flare ups. Makes you want to take Xanax 24-7!

Mine started after having my first pap test.

Mine started after my first UTI.

I"ve had mild symptoms my entire adult life, but my first really severe flare started after using a birth control sponge which caused an allergic reaction/vaginal and pelvic infection; my bladder set up a howl of protest in sympathy and is just now calming down after 8 months. Seems like we all have such sensitive bladders and it takes them waaaaaaaayyyy too long to recover from any sort of stress/insult.

Mine started about 4 yrs ago, when I was really stressed out about my job.
Although looking back - I think I have had it all my life. I have always went to the bathroom more than everybody - but I thought everyone did that

(until I started having severe symptoms).

Thanks for your replys. I guess its just one more thing I don't want to deal with. I am pretty stressed out this month and I suffer from chronic pain in the head and neck area. which that has taken a toll. The way my bladder is acting, its hard for me to sit down. I finally went to sleep last night for more than 1hour, thanks to the help of night quil. lol! I wish u all well. On monday i'm going straight to my dr and demanding answers and relief. Thanks again.
