Bladder question.....Should I be concerned?

Posted By Trisha on June 14, 1999 at 12:16:48
I have read several posts here and see that there is alot about intersitial cystitis. But I believe that I might have something else going on I have this problem after urination there is blood and this severe pain. I have had UA's done by my primary doc my GYN and also urologist all are negative for infection but there is blood and protein and I have gross hematuria..... My ? what are the tests they use besides cystoscopy and IVP which I have had done already IVP(not remarkable) and cystoscopy showed an inflamed bladder but the urologist said he may have to do something else but they put you out for it~!!!! I have no clue what it is...

I am very concerned because I have all this back pain(Flank) and it goes around
to my groin ...I have to have a CT this week but the pain is pretty bad and I have been given pain killers and told to wait for more tests... Is there something else these docs should be doing or is it ok to wait?
Thanks very much for any info you can provide
This is a great service you all provide here....
