My mother has been suffering for about 10 weeks now.
She is 63, went through menopause at 54 / 55, is generally healthy - i.e. doesn't drink or smoke, eats relatively healthily and exercises.
She has a feeling of needing to wee all the time. She doesn't actually need to wee, just has a discomfort which she finds difficult to describe.
She also has lower back pain which she describes close to aching period pain.
She saw her GP who tested urine. Found blood in her urine. It was tested for infection, none found.
She had another sample tested for cancer cells, none found.
A later sample of urine found no more blood cells.
She has had no blood tests.
The symptoms went away last week for 3 days but they are back again now.
She has an appointment to see a urologist a week tomorrow but has been and still is sick with worry and this is not helping!
I know it's vague, but does anyone have any ideas?
I have searched on the net for her symptoms and found it not much help.
TIA
