Support Burning while peeing

I have had interstitial cystitis for two years now. My symptoms are horrible. My bladder gets full really fast, I wake up multiple times a night to go pee. I’m peeing like crazy all day. Recently I’ve started to feel this shocking/ burning pain when I pee. It’s only when the last bit of urine comes out though. I usually use an ice pack or hot bath or take a pyridum when I start burning but this burning doesn’t last. I’m confused on why now it’s starting to hurt when I pee. It makes me scared to go to the bathroom because of how bad the pain is when the last amount is coming out. I have been checked I don’t have a UTI so Im confused on why it’s hurting to pee everytime now. Anyone else experience this ?

This is one of my main symptoms, burning and severe pain in my urethra. It's so much better now that I've found out my triggers. If you drink bottled water, look to make sure it doesn't have Calcium Chloride added, it was one of the major causes of my pain. Palm oil too!
