I am 29 yrs. old and for the past 2.5 wks, I have been experiencing a burning/hurting in my bladder and down there. I have to pee every 5 mins. After I pee, it'll start hurting again. My kidneys are hurting now, too. Could sex cause IC. I noticed my symptoms the day after. I always urinate and clean right afterwards.
Urine test is neg. for any infection. Urologist prescribed pills for overactive bladder. I need some help for my almost constant pain in my bladder AND frequent urination. Would the drug Elmiron help better if it is in fact IC? I have problems taking some meds. I don't want to take this OAB med. for nothing. I need some answers. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

I agree with siverbullet71..go see another urologist. Many urologist "don't believe IC is real" but it is..some will say it's an emotional problem..in my opinion it causes emotional problems.
