About a year ago I suffered from kidney stones, and since (8 months) I have suffered a dull, persistant burning sensasion in my extreme lower abdomin (abdomen) that also radiates down my legs and occasionally into my joints. I have recently had procedures to scope my bladder and stomach that revealed next to nothing...My Urologist stated that my bladder was enlarged but stated that this was not unusual and did not believe it was a concern or related to the pain. He prescribed a muscle relaxer that he thought would help ease the pain but was not sure if further examination was usefull...Well, since then the burning pain has persisted and desperation has set in. I never filled the perscription for the pain releiver nor have I seen anyone since. I am generally healthy, eat well and take in plenty of fiber and am not constipated. Any suggestions on what the pain can be and how to prevent it? I cannot see how it cannot be unrelated to the kidney stones...The pain started the night I passed them and has persisted since. I have had several IVP and CVT scans that have ruled out tumors amd lingering stones. Someone stated it could be my back but I have no back pain...Nor diahrea or naseia. I have also had my prostate checked, the results were negative. What could this be? Should I seek yet another opinion? Or just go back to my original Urologist and seek tha pain reliever (Lotran?..not sure) and hope it does more than just alleviate some pain? Any advice is appreciated...
P.S My Urologist stated something about a bladder flow test(?) Yet was unsure it was needed...could these symptoms be related to that? Thanks..
