I have been having lots of bladder issues. It feels swollen and can go up to 35 times in the day. Sometimes I struggle to go and get urges, but the bladder feels swollen to feeli g stiff. It does feel like somethings in it.
I'm take solifencin 10mg, but struggling with relief.
Not get far with doctors, should I go to a walking centre?

I was under urology and put on solifencin, which is the maximum dose.
It doesn't feel like uti. I had that before. They sent a sample for testing, but it took me 3 months to be heard.I've waited and still waiting a year, since my diagnosis to get an appointment with a endo specialist, but been told some specialist are not taking new patients.
My CA125 count has double. I've been re-referred to urology and gastroenterology, but on a triage waiting list. My gynae is useless, regardless of the constant ringing by myself and my GP, has not got in contact with me.
The pain has increased, and no help in sight.
Sorry this is turning into a rant.
I loss my last job due to redundancy, which they stated was because of being unable to carry out my job, to the best. My new job the manager is understanding, but only been there 3 months and I'm already asking them to reduce my hours. A lady that started the job, same time as me, who also has endo, got an appointment with a specialist within weeks!
I'm at the end of my tether, just sick of no one listening.....I need help!
I do feel very low, that I'm sick and tired of fighting now.
Don’t worry about what you’ve put, most, including me, can relate 🙂
GP is being ridiculous about a referral. Gynaes, as a lot of consultants are busy, stupid thing to tell you. Is there a particular consultant you’d prefer to see. Your absolutely entitled to a referral and now.
Would it be worth moving surgeries or seeing a different GP. I have found that when I’ve spoken to the GP I’m registered with things happen, but I whinge big time. Tell, politely, not the way I’ve done it 😂, them you want a referral rather than ask. If you use the online econsult for referral on their website it’s in writing. You don’t have to go to the local hospital.
If you haven’t had MRI, ask for that as well. Although scans for me have rarely shown much, when I had a hysterectomy the other week, lots of adhesions including ureters, rectovaginal endo. It’s so important to push and not leave it. I had awful issues of frequency last year and this, realised last year that sitting upright caused much of it. I ended up seeing a gynae privately, once I’d had lap he passed me to one of his colleagues that specialises in endo, exactly as NICE guidelines suggest.
Let us know how you get on 🙂I can’t believe what you are going through, and they know all this. Make sure they do this as an urgent referral. 🤞 for you 🙂
