Question: Was hospitalized in XXXXXXX for pain believed to me bladder/urethral in nature along with severe back pain. I have history of L4-L5 spinal fusion 3 yrs ago and also have Bertolotti's syndrome with partial sacralization on the left. I now also have a mild disk bulge at L3-L4. While in hospital I had urological workup including urinalysis and hydro distension of bladder. No evidence of interstitial cystitis. Had vaginal ultrasound which was also negative. I had epidural injection at L3 with no relief. Then had a left lumbar facet injection with minimal short term relief. Now scheduled for injection at L5-S1 where Bertolotti's defect is.
Had pap test done on 8/3 and now having same uro/back pain symptoms. Could this be interstitial cystitis even though hydro test was negative and I currently am not experiencing freq/urgency or is this all related to back condition and possibly pudendal nerve? Tired of being tossed back & forth between urologist, gynecologist, & neuro and still experiencing alot pubic pain when sitting.

I don't have access to the ultrasound report or urinalysis results. They were reviewed with me in the Dr's office and there were no clinical findings. My current symptoms are low back/sacral pain, intermittent tingeling in back & (and sometimes front)of both thighs, left foot feels like someone is always gently squeezing it and big toe hurts. I also have pain in crease between thigh and groin area that radiates to pubic bone/vaginal area. It hurts more when sitting but is always there. Gyno & Uro workups were negative so I'm back with neuro & pain management. Pain manangement dr feels issues may be resulting from the partial sacralization on the left at L5? Am I seeing the right Dr?
