BLADDER PAIN IN THE MORNING

I have endometriosis and after my first surgery 8/06 I began waking up with my bladder full and in pain.  As time has gone by the pain has worsened.  I went to a urologist and I don't have any kind of infection or UTI.  I have been checked several times.  My urologist referred me back to my gynocologist because he did a cystocopy and didn't find any IC.
  My gynocologist decided to do another sugery removing adhesions, endo and doing a hydrodistention and cystocopy.  First the urologist did the hydrodistention and cystocopy and didn't find anything. My gynocologist did remove some adhesion and endo including a little bit of endo on my bladder.
  I didn't have any of my usual pain until 2 weeks after my surgery.  My guess is that's because I didn't sleep more than 4 hours at a time.  It seems that my bladder gets filled up & since it doesn't get emptied for 7 hours while I sleep that it makes my bladder hurts.  I go to the restroom a lot and I have to squeeze my stomach to help relieve the fluid out of my bladder.
  I still had some fluid in my bladder during my surgery.  Since I hadn't drank anything since 10pm the night before it appears that my bladder isn't emptying completely.  My doctor has put me on Flomax and I've been taking it since Sunday. So far it isn't helping. My pain seems to be getting worse.
My doctor thinks there is a possibilty that I might have adenoyosis (endo of the bladder).  He really didn't see that many signs of it when they did surgery but there really do way to know unless the uterus is removed and biopysied.
  This pain is really bad.  Currently I am taking a Percocet or a loratab and a half for the the pain as soon as I get up. That's just to get me out of bed.
Any suggestions would be greatly helped!!!!

Hello,

It sounds like you are getting good care as you have been thoroughly evaluated.  Continue to work with your urologist and gynecologist to help sort out the underlying cause of your symptoms and how best to improve them.

The one suggestion I'd make is to have you undergo urodynamic testing (if you haven't already), due to your bladder emptying problems.

Best regards,

Dr. Downing
