I am 28 and have had painful intercoarse, burning urethra, and bladder uregency/pain for almost 2 years. I have had 2 cystoscopys - not IC, a laproscopy - not endometrosis, MRI;s- not pelvic congestion syndrome, pudendal nerveblock- made bladder hurt more for 2 weeks after, localized nerve blocks- no change. I have tried over 25 different meds to try to find a diagnosis or some relief with no luck. The uologist refers me to the gynocologist and the gyno refers me to the uro. I just go in circles. I have seen 3 uros and 2 gynos, and a neurologist. They now think I could be either mucles so I may start biofeedback or a nerve problem. I have not had the nessary tests for urethral diverticulum and and trying to get this done too. Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be?

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but could it be emotional? In my experience with medical conditions that simply won't go away, whether or not doctors know what's going on, it's almost always an emotional component.
I suggest you pick up the book "You Can Heal Your Life," by Louise Hay. She explains how emotional problems can cause certain medical problems. In one particular chapter, she goes into how bladder problems are often caused by storing up stress and anger, particularly in women. In the book, she also provides positive affirmations that you can say to help you clear out the negative emotions and therefore clear out the medical conditions.

I wish it was emotional but I know that it is not. I think people waste too much time focusing on the idea that "its all in a womens head" and not enough time researching what could really be going on. I have a friend that went to 9 specialists before one finally toke the time to listen to her. She was told time over and over again that "it was all in her head". Finally the last Dr she saw did a diagnostic test that she needed and was able to diag. her. She had surgery and has been better since. Some Drs like to say its in our heads because their ego can't accept the fact that they don't know whats wrong. It is important for Drs to not use routine tx plans and look outside the box for possble answers.

Honestly I think it's IC. The reason being is that IC doesn't always have any way of being diagnosed, it's because the symptoms vary so widely. Stress triggers IC thereby causing people to say it's in our heads, but it's not. Here's a good video on IC describing why it's not easily understood I promise you when everything is done you'll be left with IC as a diagnosis, sorry :(

Okay, I can understand if you don't believe that it's emotional. I just want to be clear that there's a difference between an emotional component and "all in your head." I was certainly not trying to imply that.
