I was told I had IC back in Dec 08; but I don't believe that was my problem.
I had a lot of tests done to figure out my CONSTANT URINATION (about 40 times a day). I did have some burning during urination, but nothing really painfulPainful menstrual periods and it would come and go.
They did the cystoscopy and discovered my bladder wall was inflammed, so I was on BactrimBactrim Bactrim ds Bactrim pediatric for 6 months. I also had a flow test done (forget what they call it) where you actually stand up and urinate while the x-ray machine takes pictures. Turns out I had a slightly fallen bladder....

Had the sling procedure done in June 09, and I can honestly say, I think that was my problem. I can hold my urine longer (up to 3hrs, compared to 15mins.). My 40 times has been down to about 10-15 times depending on what I drink. I don't have any pain.
I don't think I ever had IC.
