I woke up yesterday morning feeling terrible. My lower abdomen was sharp shooting pain, along with other issues. R took me to the ER around 7:30am. I was there for over 3 hours, they know I'm hemmoraghing, but can't explain what is wrong. My momma came and stayed with me so that R could go to work. They did a CT scan, which showed no kidney stones or abnormalities.
They released me with pain meds and instructions to see a urologist today.
I called the urologist to schedule an appointment and of coure their next opening was in 2 weeks! I stayed home from work again today, because I can barely move. I called the urologist and begged them to get me in or else I was going back to the ER.
They say it's likely Interstitial Cystitis, which is a deteriorating of the bladder lining. Apparently, I also have gall stones, which I'm supposed to "remember, but forget about, just for future reference". Seriously? They're scheduling me an appointment for a cystoscopy in the next 2 weeks and until then I'm on 2 different medicine for pain. I suppose I should be thankful that they're numbing it for the time being. =)
