I think I have finally figure out what I have. See, I've been having UTI's since I was 16. Well, I have been reading around that if you have them for too long, and that if you aren't able to go on ahead and get it worked out, the problem actually starts to work on your bladder.

It's called "Interstitial cystitis", and it's like having a UTI, but, when they take the urine and try to find out what bacteria there is to kill it, there is none. They also call it non-bacterial UTI. It is thought that this damage to the bladder wall then allows particles in the urine, such as potassium, to leak into the bladder lining. Once these particles get into the bladder lining, they can lead to a variety of body responses that may further damage the bladder and cause chronic nerve pain.

There is a great site that I have found a lot of answers on: http://www.ichelp.org/page.aspx?pid=329

I hope this helps others as they have helped me
