What do i do if my ic doctor will not treat ic pain?

I C: Interstitial cystitis has no cure. It is a chronic condition and most who treat it believe that narcotic analgesics have no role in its management. If your physician is not offering you the full spectrum of treatment modalities, find a urologist who treats ic regularly and offers the full spectrum of treatment options including intravesical treatment and even physical therapy.
