Hello,

My name is Julie and I was suffering from abdomen pain for a long period of time. I went to 4 different doctors and they kept saying I had UTI I even had a colonoscopy. Finally one GP sent me to a Urologists who gave me a Urodynamics tests, diagnosing that I had IC

He has told me about injecting a steroid into the bladder wall cal Kenarcort. He said that you get put under general and over 18 month period you get 3 injections. Relief may occur after the 2nd injection.

I am going to give it a go as I can’t continue with pain and an acid free diet for the rest of my life (Iam 43years old).
