Does this sound like a rectal stricture?

When I last saw my GI, I told him again about the rectal spasm I get and that I apply GTN cream whenever I get it. He wondered what happened and I told him it got relaxed by time.

However, things are getting worse. Since I have been too dependant on colifoam, I resumed the previous regimen: I take it only twice per week and take pentasa suppositories the rest of the week. But things are not as smooth as they used to be. Whenever I insert the suppository now, I get severe cramps, rush to the toilet w explosive d and have severe pain in my left-side afterwards. GTN and Anusol HC do not relax the spasm anymore now.

I can only have watery d when I take trimubetine maleate tablets and these cause cramps, too.

My GI didn't exclude a stricture when I asked him and we agreed I'll have an MRI in March.

Now, this spasm is depriving me of sleep. I have no other symptoms indicative of an obstruction. I'm sometimes nauseous but I have GERD and this is normall for me. What should I do?

JaSanne, thank you so much. I'm trying to cope but all in all I'm not feeling well. My current problem is the left-sided pain as it's new for me. I've always suffered from pain in the lower right quadrant. This new pain makes me need to bend because of its severity and I noticed it's always accompanied by rectal spasm. .

I agree with you regarding the inflamed tissue. Even colifoam now is causing excruciating pain when inserted and it is as if it's pushing against something. Btw, I have no bleeding. I think it's all inflammation.

I'll take my Remicade infusion tomorrow and hope it would calm things down.
