Hi, I am new to this group. On Monday I will have a cystoscopy done in my dr's office with no pain killers at all. That kind of scares me. But I guess waht scares me more is what they might find. I was sent to a urologist after my ultrasound showed a thickening of the bladder. I have complained for more than a year of having bloody urine and pain in my abdomen and back, only to be told time and time again that I don't have a bladder infection and that I just need to exercise more. Now that they have found the thickening of the bladder, it helps confirm in my mind that I have had something wrong. We jsut don't know what it is yet. I would like to hear experiences of cystoscopy and what I can expect and if anyone else had any of my symptoms.
Thanks,
Pattigo
