Disagreement with Dr - constipation

After 2 yrs. of looking for answers I was diagnosed with crohns and ulcerations all over (as he told me)

On Remicade since Oct 2018 and 6MP for the last 3 months..

The only time I am in pain (BAD pain) is when I eat and the food is going through my lower bowels before it gets to the point where you are ready to go to the bathroom. I take linzess because he said I t is a constipation issue. I disagree because I take linzess each day and have at least 5 bowel movement’s each day from it.. How is it possible to call this constipation? The pain is on middle to left side in the waist area.. At times it feels like someone just shot me with a bullet…

My dr is a digestive disorder specialist, he is the 2nd Dr I have seen and I do trust him.. I am wondering if it is ulcerations in that area giving me pain.
I don’t have the diarrhea with

Finally, any chance someone knows a specialist in Crohns in NJ?

It's possible you could have overflow diarrhoea, which is when liquid stool seeps past the impacted stool. I dunno about Linzess - had to google it. It claims it's not a laxative and that it helps to calm pain-sensing nerves. Well it's obviously not calming your pain. I wonder if it's worth stopping it and trying a more traditional laxative or stool softener, like 73monte suggested. Stool softeners are more gentle and less prone to making your bowel 'lazy' with long term use, but on the other hand stimulant laxatives are fine for short term use.

As for the cause of the pain, severe constipation can cause bad pain. As can distension of the bowel due to e.g. gas, blockage. It's probably not the ulcers. The intestines don't have pain receptors and thus you can cut, scratch them etc without feeling any pain (I actually know this from personal experience of having a stoma). But the one thing intestines are sensitive to, and can detect pain for, is being stretched - they don't like that.
