Hi,

I have had endo removed from my ureters, none found in bladder. I have been diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, which is chronic inflamation of bladder wall. I get pain when sitting for longer than 20 mins, this can be anywhere, i think driving is worse because of the position your sat in? Good luck with finding out a little more X

I too have had 2 laps and endo removed from bladder the first time and then both ureters i have bleeding my consultant felt it may be due to a combination of both. I am still experiencing back pain 4weeks post op have you got any pain?

Because of endo outside my bladder, I've twice had sections of my bladder removed which has led to frequent infections and pain sitting and driving just as described here. I'd recommend Cystistat installations - a liquid coating (sort of an artificial lining), which is put into the bladder by catheter. It is also used for Interstitial Cystitis. For me, this has really kept the infections, frequency and discomfort under control - not sure how widely available it is.
