I've posted a few times about bladder issues and am currently having a bad time again.
I've been on Detrusitol for years for overactive bladder and also have a history of UTIs, particularly in the last year (I'm perimenopausal which I believe might be a factor.
I had a urine sample come back clear a couple of weeks ago but am in almost constant pain - not just when I go to the loo - along with a bit of urgency.
I have been wondering if I now perhaps have interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome rather than OAB - the symptoms do seem to differ a bit but who knows?
I don't think the Detrusitol is working in any case. I have a doc appt on Thursday but was wondering meantime if anyone else is on either different meds for OAB or on something for IC, so that I could maybe ask the doc about them in case he can't come up with anything.
Thanks for any replies xx
