Hi all,
Iv been a member of this site for around 5 years, but due to a change of email I had to re register. The site has helped me through the worst of times. I cant believe im posting for help, as the last few years I felt I have been able to live with my anxiety and have instead been offering support.
Im posting for some advice/support/reassurance. Im having constant issues with what I believe is my bladder.
Id guess it started around a year ago. I used to work in a bar, and id feel an intense urge to urinate, even after I had just been. This mostly happened in work, and I put it down to anxiety.
Once I had qualified and changed jobs the symptoms dissapeared until september last year. I ended up in the doctors again and he sent a urine sample off to the hospital, which came back negative. However, 2 months later and the symptoms had not dissapeared. Through discussion, the doctor let slip that there had been traces of blood in my urine but he wasnt concerned. No infection, and apart from a borderline enzyme count in my liver, all bloods are fine. This obviously panicked me. 4 trips later, and 4 more positive traces of blood found, I was referred to urology, but the appointment is for 6 months time.
I went back to the doctor today, as my bladder is under constant pressure. If its poked, I get shooting pains. Although I dont wake at night, I get up and my bladder feels painful and so full, but I dont pass much urine. My urine is always almost dark coloured and smelly, no pain whilst urintaing though. I feel like I have lost the ablity to distinguish between needing a number 1 or 2. Its getting me so down and im in constant worry. The doc has now also referred me to have an ultra sound but god knows how long that will be.
Any advice would be grately recieved. Thank you
