Is this what I have?

Ok - about 6 years ago after a particularly stressful time I began have frequent urination problems, which caused a lot of burning and stinging. I had a cystoscopy and was given meds for the frequency. I used the calendula cream, acidophilus and calcium citrate, also went on citalopram to help as I began to suffer with panic attacks.
Anyway after a few months everything settled and I went back to normal. Until I had a UTI at the beginning of September. I was given two lots of antibiotics, then treated for thrush. The irritation is back - it feels itchy and just generally uncomfortable. Have been told to use vagisil have used vaseline which kind of helps. Last time i used aqueous cream too.
I do a lot of driving and sitting for my job - some days are better than others - when I don't focus on it seems fine when I panic I feel worse.
I think have had flare ups before when I was younger - they always passed after a few weeks or couple of months.
Am beginning to have panic attacks again and feel like i don't want to go out - not good I have a job that requires lots of driving and sitting. I don't have pain as such just irritation, and at times a kind of numbness with mild pins and needles - then an itchy sensation.
Hope that it will pass. I am back on the frequency meds and have increased citalopram - just afraid that I will slip back. Also fearful that i will have to live with this forever.

Hi Daisybun

Just a thought, have you considered or been checked out for a trapped or compressed nerve(s) or muscular problems in your pelvis and/or back?? Your symptoms sound very similar and that might be the cause for you? Especially if you do a lot of sitting and driving - your muscles adjust to that scrunched posture and then when you do something else it can cause problems. Problems with the pelvic floor muscles can also cause urinary problems.

Thanks Loulou
I am so stressed and my muscles are not relaxed at all - feel better overnight as i have no pressure and I relax.
I am sure this will pass it has before just such a misreable feeling x
