You can count me as one of many with RA problems. A few months ago, pain in my back and hips was constant. I was prescribed Tramadol. It didn't seem to help all that much. After my colonoscopy, everything went from bad to worse. I wake up with pain all over the body, diarrhea and urgency. It subsides somewhat during the midday. I have an appt. soon with the GI and family dr. I need a change in meds or doctors. Doing nothing is no way to live.

They never tested me to see what kind mine was, just that it came from UC.
