Interstit. cystitis: Have the urine cultures been positive? Must consider interstitial nephritis (diagnosis made with cystoscopy) or infection with atypical bacteria such as chlamydia or mycoplamsa. Course of tetracytcline might help. Also chronic prostatitis comes to mind. Need prostate massage with cultures and treatment with drug that enters prostate gland (septra/bactrim). Might need life long therapy.

Does a cystoscopy without sedation hurt? MRU (MRI of Pelvis/ abdomen) was all perfect. Pink urine after exercise and Sudaphed/ aspirin.

Probably painful: Any procedure involving the urethra is always a bit painful! Think about mild sedation! Ask Urologist about it!
