I'm in New Zealand, and 10 day delivery was $30, so had to opt for the $18 delivery which was 4 weeks, I'm broke, can't work because of this pain in the butt illness!

Kia-

To follow up. How are you doing?

FYI, there's another person who posts on this board named Larry who also had PN caused by a hydrodistention of the bladder in 1999. He went from pain treatable by aspririn when he went into surgery to level 9 on a 1-10 scale when he woke up. In my case the onset of pain was masked by pain meds. About a month after the hydro surgery I had tingling in my genitals, when I went off the pain meds for IC (the urologist finally admitted I didn't have IC), the pain level skyrocketed.

I have the same urinary hesitancy that you do but not nearly as bad. I have to think about urinating and when to go for the most part. If I am ready to burst I will get a strange feeling, nothing like what I felt before. I have to concentrate on urinating-push. It isn't natural. However, I can go.

Take care and enjoy the surf when you can.

Doing much better.

Pretty much the bad symptoms that arose from the hydrodistention surgery waned after about 3-4 weeks.
Prior to that I never really had any problems with hesitancy, or frequency.
I am told i do have IC, but after the flare after the op, I still don't get the frequency/hesitancy.

I have also just been doing a series of treatments over the last few months called 'bioresonance' which have helped my IC type symptoms, mostly the pain by about 80% !

so hoping that holds, and i don't have to keep travelling the 3 hours there and back again for the appointments/treatments.
costly! and we don't have much money, also I have to lie in the car to travel , as i cant sit due to the PN/PNE symptoms.
