Bladder spasms-- Please help - Cancer: Bladder Message Board

Where do I begin....

I am 21, female, married. Have a history of UTI's, kidney stones, uterus infections, pain during sex, no periods. Also ride and train horses on a regular basis, as well as run.

A couple of months ago while at work I began having extreme burning. It was like a sudden attack of a raging kidney/bladder infection. Hurt like crazy to pee. Immediately went to gyno, urine test for infection negative. Did an exam and diagnosed as uterus infection. Gave me medicine, but pain ended that night, never returned. Then a few days ago I was sitting at work and felt the same thing happen. Went riding, and it got increasingly worse. Finally ended late that night. Several days later I begin my run on the treadmill and pain starts up again. By evening still going strong so I take a Darvocet (painkiller). Doesn't stop so I take a Valium (muscle relaxant). This immediately does the trick. Since then I have had very short little "attacks" that go away, but I have not exercised yet-- thay will be the real test.

My dad, who is a doctor, is almost certain that this is a bladder spasm. I drink a lot of water--it's all I drink. There seems to be no infection, and it comes and goes so quickly. But it is very intense. But here is no loss of bladder control-- no incontinence, just PAIN!

Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing? Could this maybe be related to my deep pain I have during sex? Something new to add to my list of defects.

In a word, no I haven't but I also have had some strange sensations during exercise. Not at all common, often around period time either PMT or just at the start. I'm a runner and the feeling is like the whole of your gut want's to drop out of your vagina. Awful feeling - only had it 2-3 times. IF your rest it subsides and goes away. So must besomething to dowith blood circulation being taken from that area to the legs etc when exercising. Definitely not a potty stop feeling, or even a urination type feeling. More like my uterus wants to prolapse!

So I can't add much. Except is valium a muscle relaxant?? - what would happen if you took a smooth muscle relaxant like scopolamine??? I think that's right. Your Dad might have some comments. I mean, often the results from the treatment are a good indication of what it might be.

This may be a longshot but you also might want to check for vaginal yeast levels with your gyno. Yeast infections can cause burning all over, even when you pee!

Sounds like you might have endometriosis. I had every symptom you have mentioned. Go to this website for more info. Painful periods and deep pain with sex are the main symptoms. I also had bladder/kidney infections ALL the time! [url="http://www.geocities.com"]www.geocities.com[/url]
