I'm a 24 yr old. I was diagnosed with IC when I was 18. I had ongoing utis everyday. I went had installs done by a uroglist they seemed to help. I haven't seen him in years I ate and drank anything I wanted and no flare at all. til about 14-15 weeks ago. I had sex with my bf so I think that might of caused the flare. I went to a new urologist he prescribes me elmiron 2 times a day. and stick to a diet. which I have.
suffering from severe trapped wind/bloating as soon as i lie down in bed,have to take bicarb of soda,which takes a while to work,i dont get to sleep until 2-4am& exhausted.have had gall bladder removed & endopscopy for this problem to no avail.these are what ive tried ; keeping a food diary(no pattern) accupressure,massage,mebverine,remegel,colpermine,buscopan,gaviscon,mint tea,ginger tea,gripe water,charcoal,domperidon,plain boiled water!
Since you say the AZO helps it must be urinary and could be IC however it is unusual that you do not have pain with intercourse. Though truthfully after I was diagnosed with IC, I used to tell my friends my cycle etc. were no big deal BUT once we got symptoms better controlled I realized I had gotten used to to s certain level of constant pain!! I think back now and realized that with sex I also had thought some after feelings just normal too.
ve had quite a few stellate ganglion blocks and have had some success. They thought the lidocaine infusion might help the other pain I deal with and kill two (or more) birds at the same time so to speak.
KittKat23-78, Sorry the infusion didn't help you!! I hadn't heard about having several a few days apart; I'll have to ask about it. Mine is (at least one) being paid for by worker's comp. I'm hopeful but also trying to keep things realistic and in perspective.
ve been doing the sitz baths three times a day too, with ravensara, bergamot and tea-tree essential oils, along with more bicarb. This proved to be really soothing. I did force myself to drink more herbal teas and water - I've been drinking Lemon Balm and Echinacea teas mostly. I was able to wear loose pants for the first time today and am starting to feel much better now :) Still a little bit of a sore throat, but it didn't develop into anything else thank goodness!
only 1/4 inch came out so a good 1/2 inch is still in there i can see it thru the nail. I attempted to cut and split the nail with razor blade but once i got part way thru nail it hurt bad. my co-worker gave me a new 10ml bottle of lidocaine, he uses it to give himself stitches. advice as to where to put the needle (i got from cvs insulin 31g-8mm),what to expect ie: will it burn- how long b4 its numb, and if i split the nail will it grow back? any advice will help..
I never had it with my son but its revolting don't blame you for being sick with it yuck
Re: Lidocaine Enemas. I am warning everyone to be careful. My brother just died 3/31/12 from a lidocaine enema. He was only 28. (Lidocaine Intoxication) Lidocaine in liquid form. I don't want anyone elses loved ones to die like this. I hope everyone will be careful when dealing w/lidocaine. it is a dangerous substance when not used properly.
There are no contraindications for using lidocaine for the purpose described. The only danger is that lidocaine completely anesthetizes tissue, which is why you can cut or suture an area treated by lidocaine. Thus it is possible to cause a tear or injury that would not be noticed until the lidocaine wore off. In the case of normal intercourse, this should not be a problem.
Oetker Bicarb is not that expensive. Do not get baking powder or raising powder - these are a mix of bicarb with Cream of Tarta (a powder to stablize egg whites). Because there are so many uses for it and you have access to a computer, I thought it better you look at the web links rather than me copy and paste such a lot of information.
I have copied and pasted the links below regarding Bicarb

Did you get Bicarb to drink while they did the Barium swallow xrays (normally done post-op day 2)? that would explain the diarrhea. I only had the Barium to drink and that got as solid as sement!
The recovery period for Nissen Fundo patients are 3 months and as Flycaster said: you need to follow the recommended diet.
Hi, I am 30yrs old, currently staying in India with my husband and I have developed what I believe is a UTI. I've never had one before. My last period ended about 4 days ago. And now this has come on suddenly. I woke up in the morning and went to pee and felt a strong burning or stinging sensation and I felt like I couldn't empty my bladder completely. Of course I immediately looked up the symptoms online, but I don't have all of what they describe.
ve been drinking half to one tsp bicarb soda mixed with half a cup of water before bed. Nothing else was working but this gets me through half the night heartburn free.
(It can slightly raise blood pressure, so if your b.p. is already very high, not a good idea, but mine is very low, so no risks there.)
Can you sleep on more pillows so you're a little more upright? Might not stop the pain but might stop the vomiting...
I too was diagnosed with Sluders by having a lidocaine-soaked pledget applied between the contact point. I have a deviated septum with a spur, and the spur is in constant contact with the turbinate (and nerve bundle) on the opposite side. So I am in pain almost all of the time.
I am making my appt. for surgery this week and am hoping that this cures my horrendous facial pain. This is no way to live.
I got prescribed Norco, lidocaine patches, and diclofenac 75 mg. Yesterday I took Norco and I put a lidocaine patch and I woke up with weird heart sensation, like slow heart rate or something. Could it be caused by lidocaine patch? I also take the following medication:
Atorvastatin Calcium 80 Mg- 1 tab in the evening
Carvedilol 6.
