I have been suffering from my proctitis for 1 year and 7 months up till now. Since July I have been in a flare up but I could manage. More than 5 days ago, the rectal pain increased, I have severe abdominal cramps and I can hardly have a bm and even if I do sometimes it is ribbon like. In order to have a bm I have to insert two glycerin suppositories and I keep having pain. Sometimes, I get watery d and don't feel better.
In my last visit to the GI, he told me when you get a stricture, consult the surgeon. Last year and it was at the same time, late October early November, I was diagnosed with anal stenosis. Then, my GI told me that I won't have any from of dilation as it can worsen my inflammation. This year he changed his mind and he wants me to see the surgeon.
I'm confused. Today I am very nauseous, have headache and muscle ache. I even went to work, cancelled my classes and went back home. I can't think clearly and I'm very weak. With d I can't take my enemas. Should I take Imodium? I think no, right? Is dilatation safe? There is another post about
rectal stricture and it was mentioned that people can have dilatation regularly. Is it safe? Can I ask to have it and get rid of these cramps where I can't have a bm or even pass gases out?
Your replies are highly appreciated.
