I have always had a problem urinating, I have to go all the time, so does my daughter. I guess years of holding it has caused damage to my bladder.
When I was pregnant with my daughter in 2003 I was given an epidural and once it started to wear off I started to get a sharp pain in my urethra? So sharp but I could not go to the bathroom, that went on for about an hour, I thought I was going to explode. Finally they put a catheter in and I think there was 900cc that came out.
After I got home from the hospital I had a lot of pain there, the same sharp pain.
In 2007 I had a lap done on my pelvis. I was diagnosed with Stage IV Endometriosis. I had it all over my bowels, bladder, ureters, ovaries etc. plus he severed the nerves in my uterus to minimize pain. Anyhow when I woke up from this surgery I couldn't go to the bathroom again I was dying of pain it was ridiculous, well needless to say no one was listening to me and I went over 2hrs without having a catheter in. They were not going to release me from the hospital because my bladder was not emptying. Finally I convinced them to let me go telling them that is the way it always is.
Well during this time I keep getting these pains. I don't leak, Just have this strong urgency to go to the bathroom, when I get there the pain is so intense I cant go, I try to lean forward and some comes out then nothing. I get off and go walk around for about 5 mins still in pain then try to go again letting a little more out.
This can not be normal and I am wondering if anyone has ever had this problem or knows what it is.
I have an appointment with the urologist in august, and with the surgeon that did my surgery in June. I know I have talked to the surgeon about this but he thinks its fine eventhough I think it could be Interstitial Cystitis which goes hand and hand with Endometriosis.
Anyhow any answers would be great!
