I've been told I have I.c.s., I had a minor prodedure where my bladder was inflated so that my urilogist can examine and confirm diagnosis of I.c.s., he said I had 2 minor cracks in the wall of my bladder. Its been 6 months since and no more utis (I was getting 1 monthly). I have noticed however when I wake up I have abdominal pain, light cramping from holding in urine while asleep. After the procedure my dr tried to put me on 5 meds, but I couldn't afford them at the time and felt I was doing fine w/o them. Here I am 6 mos later with occasional abdominal pain from holding in urination thru the night. Is this the I.c.s. and what causes the abdominal pain. Btw it does usually go away after I urinate, I just feel soreness for a lil while. 29yr old female, haven't had to see urilogist in 6 mos.
