Whenever i have this done i have to be put under,and they dialate my uretha too.It does seem to help alot though.

These may have helped the most out of the majority of things I tried. I wound up getting the Interstim implant and that has helped the most. Reduced my pain from a 9 to about a 4, which is livable. Went from 5 to 6 Norco a day down to 1, sometimes 2, but very rarely. a day

It only worked temporarily.

It was during cystoscopy 9 mnths ago that I was diagnosed and they also did a distension which seemed to releive some urgency but it is back again.

I went in the OR and I was diagnosed with IC and I was given photos of my bladder that showed inflammation. It relieved my pain a little bit for a temporary amount of time.

puts me in somewhat of a remission for 6-8 months

This does work for a few months. Doesny take the pain away but makes it manageable.

This was done for diagnostic purposes.

I have had this done once, about 4 months ago. This brought near-immediate relief from a constant stream of intense pain. I will definitely have it done again.

Did not work. Made the pain horrific.
