IC - Pain and it hurts to walk
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone
Ive had IC for about 7 years now but this last year has been really challenging
This week I have been off work due to nasty flare up and infection
I am just concerned about the pain that I am getting and need to know if anyone else has it in this location
Its almost as if it runs along the side of my "lady bits"
The bit between my leg and my "lady bits" if that makes sense?
Deep stabbing pain which makes it hard to walk
Does anyone recognise this pain and where it is
I have to grab my crotch to give some relief
On Pregabalin, Co-Codamol and Antibiotics but still no better
Hurting real bad and all I want is to have some respite from this awful pain

thanks for the reply
i know its just not me then!
its unbearable and it gets me down. Try to put on a brave face but inside all I want to do is cry. I have been given Lyrica by my Consultant for IC symptoms but I have read about the Pudendal Nerve and it was interesting reading. If you get a chance have a read of the symptoms and see if it sounds familiar x

mentioned it. It does seem to have the same symptoms doesnt it. Another thing, do you ever notice blood in your water, I have
been recently. I seem to forget to ask the hospital when im there.I have been taking Prelief with any food which plays the bladder up. Its quite expensive but does seem to work.Ive been reading
other forums and there does seem to be so many different
symptoms, and so many people suffering from it..

today is my first pain free and not running to the loo day for about three weeks
seems the antibiotics are doing their job
glad you know abouth the Pudendal Nerve and I have to say that when I am in pain all sorts go through your head for instance I have had three children and the intense shooting stabbing pain that I experience makes me worry the doctors are missing something. I get constipated and its a vicious circle then with pain management
for me though the biggest thing is trying to remain cheery and act normal when under so much pressure with this illness. It does rule your every waking hour when a flare up happens and although my husband is lovely I wish he would just give me a hug when I'm in so much pain. I was in the bathroom last week for nearly an hour just trying to pass something, anything..and I was in tears. I was hot, in agony and felt so alone with this illness and he says to me..."There is nothing I can do!" He says but there is. So much in fact like ask me how I am coping, ask me if I want that hug, or just understand more. Please don't get me wrong he is great but some men just block themselves off from such issues
so today I thank my lucky stars for getting a day that hasn't left me in such a state and hope for more tomorrow!
hope you are also well today still
PS D-Mannose? Have you tried it June??

bear it would you. So glad to hear you have a pain free day. Fingers crossed that it lasts for a while. My husband is quite sympathetic but im sure he must get fed up with hearing me complain. Are your children young. My two are grown up with children of their own. It must be very hard work to have youngsters to look after when you have all this horrible pain.i dont think I could do it. Heres hoping for a few more pain free days. Xx
