That’s good to hear. I’ve had bladder pain problems for a while now and after negative urine cultures and two courses of antibiotics I have recently seen a urologist. He depressed me as he said gabapentin, pregabalin didn’t really work for bladder pain which rather took away my hope. Can I ask if you take it for interstitial cystitis?
