Can a 29-year-old quadriplegic have interstitial cystitis? He has the symptoms but the dr w/not check for it?
mountaindew25 asked:
He has cramping in the bladder area as well as burning. He has a lot of bladder infections (as quads do), but this did not show an infection. He has had it several times and they just give him the run around. Any suggestions?

Is there a Doctor that can advise me about this condition that I have called intersistual cystitis?
my advice to anyone who feels that their doctor is too cavalier and doesn’t listen to them is to change doctors quickly. i allowed my doctor to tell me my symptoms were nothing to worry about and failed to do any tests. i did change doctors but too late to help me. i am in the last stages of ****** cancer that spread to my bones and i am now under hospice care. do not allow a doctor to dismiss your complaints without even investigating them. if i can prevent one person from such a fate then it is worth speaking out. good luck to your friend.
Of course he can. Go to another doctor. It took me over 4 years before I was diagnosed. I had to go through many antibiotics and total hystr.
My advise is this, moderate what he eats. Only fresh food if possible. No canned,packaged.frozen. Bottled water.
Go to the ICA web site for more information or the ICN.
Ic mimics lots of other bladder conditions and that is why it is so hard to diagnosed.. Start with the diet though
