Found possible treatment for my chronic pain, I don't know how to ask a doctor to try it out.

i was diagnosed with idiopathic urethritis last year. For 2 years, all the doctors did was to pass me around until I was sent to a hospital pretty far away where a doctor told me what I had and that there was nothing they could do.

This pain affects me everyday and it's the worst in this morning. Basically, they told me that as long as I'm not completely crippled by the pain they won't do anything about it which is terrible since they don't know what I have to go through even if it isn't crippling.

As I was looking around, I found this promising article (europepmc.org/articles/PMC4... that suggests that the pain can be managed with steroid instillation. I don't know what to do with this and where to go. Can someone offer me some advice what to do about this?

Contact the people (the last author mentioned) and see what they say and where they do it! It can't hurt to ask them and they are the experts. No point going to the Gp. That is where I would start

As DTech1 said...find out from this link what you can. From what I picked up the research was done on male boys...under 16.

Follow up everything you can and ask as many questions as you can.
