Sharp pain on right side of abdomen during Urination

L am a woman, but I am having the same problems. But I also have other problems that tie in with it, but turns out I have IC. It is Interstitial Cystitis, and it is where your bladder has huge cysts all over it and it becomes inflammed and causes ain during urination. But today, I started having sharp pains in my back and side when i go to the bathroom. i haven't gotten it checked yet because it is very expensive to go the ER for our insurance, but I think it could be IC. I have a couple questions that came with a pamphlet my doctor gave me. Do you go to the bathroom alot? And what does alot mean to you? Do you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom? How would you rate the pain? And whenever you answer me back, I will tell you whether I think that is what it is or not. If it is indeed IC, you will have to get injections into your bladder and YOU have to buy the injections, you also have to take two tablets before bed. Altogether it is $600 for them both. Just get back to me.
