What are the most common symptoms of cystitis?

I have checked out a lot of websites, and they all seem to say different things about cystitis symptoms. I have booked an appointment with my GP for next week for a check up, but due to how I have been feeling lately, my mum (who is a qualified nurse) thinks I may have cystitis.
I would appreciate any information you can give me, but please don't give me any weblinks! I'm almost cross eyed from looking at them at this point!
Thanks!

"passing glass and razor blades" and "the urge to push your bits back in" are accurate descriptions lol
If its not bacterial cystitis you can clear it at home by drinking bicarbonate soda mixed with water and cranberry juice. or buy cystitis relief sachets from the pharmacy

If you leave bacterial cystitis untreated, it can travel up your urine tract and cause kidney infections (been there done that and its not recomended lol )

My own personal past experience with this awful condition was - a regular urge to wee, then unable to pass more than a little bit when I got there. A constant urge to push my "bits back in" don't know how else to describe it! Very very uncomfortable and often quite painful. Ewww, glad I haven't had it for so long - my thoughts are with you.

Well I have chronic cystitis and my annoying symptoms are: frequent urination
bladder pressure
Radiating pain down leg
blood in urine
tugging sensation between legs

Usually you have this horrible urge to wee, but it burns when you do, or there isn't a lot coming out. I think there is itching too.
If you think you have this, drink plenty of water, maybe half a pint every 20 minutes, so you can flush your system out. This really works for me and I haven't had it bad in years.

I don't know what the other symptoms are, but it can happen to people quite frequently for all sorts of reasons.

The need to pee very frequently and the most horrendous sensation when you do! It's awful. Like passing broken glass and razor blades was a description I heard, which is very accurate.

Needing a pee all the time but agony
when you go!
