Urinary and Bladder Disorders Forum - Extreme Bladder And Back Pain

Hello,

i'm new to this forum. I am having a problem but have not consulted a physician as of yet as I have no medical insurance.

I have been having severe pain in my bladder since 12/2 and it was pretty much constant and without relent until 15/2. Experienced no pain on 16/2-17/2 but the pain returned on 18/2 and lasted until 22/2, experienced no pain on 23/2 but it has returned today and is quite severe.

It feels as though I have to urinate quite urgently at all times, there is pain in my vagina and bladder as well as some back pain.

I've tried drinking more water and milk and less drinks that are carbonated or that contain caffiene.

I am extremely fatigued even after sleeping 12-14 hours.

I am 23 years old, caucasian female, i've been married for nearly three years.

Three years ago on the first day of april, 2003 I had a large cyst removed. It was larger than a basketball and was touching every vital organ. It had grown so large it was nearly to my throat, pushing my rib cage out. It was an odd cyst in that it was growing off of my fallopian tube and from what I understand most cysts originiate on ones ovaries.

I have since been diagnosed with hpv which is a sexually transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer, but as of my last visit to my doctor this was on the mend.

I have not been to a gyno in over 9 months, and will not be able to afford a visit for another 2 months at least.

As my immune system is fighting off this virus it is possible that I can have frequent infections and minor illnesses.

At first I believed that the pain must be caused by a bladder infection, but as it has lasted so long and has came and went... I am unsure.

Oh, and it first began during my menstral cycle.

And I have been having pain in my back approx where my kidneys would be located, mainly on my left side.

Does anyone have any insight?

Thank you for taking the time to read this long post.
