Bladder pain

Hi, Hoping anyone can help. I am waiting on a biopsy of the ureter for something picked up in a CT scan and have general lower back and flank pain etc however yesterday I bent down to pick up the dogs water bowl and had what I can only describe as the sensation of something very large and sharp having been inserted into my bladder. I have never felt anything like it before i had to cling on and almost fell to the floor. Standing straight alleviated the pain and I found for the next few hours when I bent over I had sever pain. After about six hours it stopped. I didn't have any urge to urinate but on the first attack I felt as if I was leaking, almost like bleeding but there was nothing there. Anyone got any ideas or had anything similar before? Any advice would be appreciated Thanks Waylands

Hi,

My fiance, who has a newly-diagnosed urachal tumour, talks about pain similar to what you're describing. She describes it as a tearing sensation when she bends over. On other ocassions, she describes the sensation as "pressure." It also seems to come and go.

I had the samething.  I ended up with a CT Scan and MRI.  The CT showed a mass on my left kidney, the CT Scan didnot.  So I ended up going to Urologist and he found the tumor in my bladder.  I had a TURBT on April 5 and have no more left sided flank pain. I now have Bladder cancer.  Get yourself checked out.  See a Urologist.

Hi WEL2012, May I ask how old your fiancé is and whether she had gross hematuria and also how they diagnosed her tumor? Until I found this message board I had never heard of urachal tumours. I know I am spelling it wrong but when my GP showed me the CT report it mentioned a thickening around the lower left ureter where it joins the bladder. It also mentions (and I know I am spelling this nothing like it should be) 'the thickening is on the vesiochordal arch' is this anything to do with Urachal? I have had the bleeding for a number of years and it has got progressively worse. I am 45 and have never smoked. I have ultrasounds CTs and cystoscopies in the past which have always been clear. This was the first time they did a CT with IVP and they picked something up. My GP is calling it a slow growing growth. My biopsy is on the 30th and this may sound perverse but I just want it done. I will then deal with whatever it is Best wishes and my thoughts are with you both Waylands
