Hi everyone.. I am going to see my GI tomorrow for the 1st time and I am so nervous! I have written down all the questions I want to ask him. But I had a question for you all. For the last couple of days I have been experiencing a very achy lower back pain (mostly on my right side) and sometimes turns into a crampy feeling in my lower abdomen.. Is this normal? Does anyone with UC experience this? Also, today my stool had a lot of mucus (Thick beije colored mucus).. Is this normal?? Thanks! And sorry to be so graphic
