Ugh...internet hugs. Your urologist sounds like a clueless ass. I can't believe he would go from a dismissive "you have a bladder infection" to "let's implant a device!" I saw a male urologist who didn't know a whole lot about IC. He wasn't the worst, but he was far from the best. Actually I've seen many doctors, but I'd recommend finding someone who actually specializes in pelvic pain disorders, if at all possible. I just saw someone new at the Cleveland Clinic, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about IC (apparently it's been renamed "painful bladder syndrome"). Anyway, it took me two hours to drive there, but at least I knew she wouldn't be giving me the "you're making this shit up" face or dismissing my problems as imagined or something they absolutely aren't. You seem to be just starting this journey, but it took me about five years to find decent health care providers, and I'm not sure I'll ever recover from my fear of new doctors dismissing my misery as unimportant. Two hours may seem like a long way, but since you have to wait months to see someone, it may as well be someone good!
Did your doctor suggest physical therapy or bladder instillations to you? I'd HIGHLY recommend trying either of these things. I've had the best results with PT and the therapists I've seen are always about 100x more knowledgeable about my condition than the doctors. There's a searchable database [here] (http://www.ichelp.org/physicaltherapy#find). It usually takes a long time to get in with a PT, but once you do, you're golden. The long wait times always amaze me. Like, how many women are there who have these problems, and why haven't I met any of them in real life?
Anyway, that turned into a bit of an opus. I feel like I'm constantly shilling this stuff, but it makes a huge difference for me. If you have decent insurance, you might want to try Elmiron, the prescription drug.
I really can't get over the inadequate options your doctor gave you. Unless he's the only urologist within 300 miles, please dump him.
Edit (second opus): just wanted to add an encouragement. It can get better, so don't be completely discouraged. Right now you have no idea what's causing your pain/flares, and figuring out what your triggers are (not to mention getting a real diagnosis) will put you on the path to recovery. I never thought I'd have sex or sit comfortably again, and I used to drag a cushion around with me everywhere like some 80-year-old disabled person. Now I'm active like a rabbit and the cushion has been consigned to a closet. Stress always makes me feel exponentially worse, and it sounds like you're going through a helluva time right now. When I'm feeling especially terrible, I tend to clench all my muscles and that makes it much worse. Relax, breathe...all that cheesy, worthless-sounding crap people tell you to do. Savasana and a muscle relaxer can work wonders! Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or just want to vent. I know it can be tough talking to people about this stuff because (a) it's awkward and (b) they have no frame of reference, dude.
