I'm just putting this out there because I'm curious if there are any common factors in what caused this. This is a bit personal but mine started after using a vibrator. I thought maybe I injured my bladder or a nerve as the result. I've had many doctors tell me that this wasn't the case, and one initially diagnosed me with vulvodynia instead of IC. In fact after telling the specialists ive seen about this, most agreed initially I didnt have IC. But when one told me I might have it, I went nuts, panic attack after panic attack that led to pelvic pain pressure.
