Idk if you’ve ever had a UTI before but it was the discomfort that comes with the UTI even though I didn’t have an infection. I’ve described it to people as feeling like there was something acidic inside my bladder, very deep and dull. It could be a more achy feeling of unwellness, or totally debilitating. Apparently it’s very common, particularly among women.

I had bladder pain for years (interstitial cystitis) because my pelvic floor was too tight. I was told by a pelvic floor therapist that kegels are one of the most over-used exercises out there.
