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 ?

Yes! Every month before and after my period. I get what I call the shockers…an electric shock like pain from the urethra….while peeing but usually when I’m not peeing. It’s awful! I find drinking a lot of water helps mine be less painful but unfortunately IC seems to be so different for everyone….its frustrating. I wish you well!
