Do you have pain all the time, some of the time, none of the time? Where is your pain, and on a scale of 1 - 10, how bad is your pain? Are some days worse than others? What do you take to alleviate your pain?

Just trying to get an idea of what everyone feels. Right now I feel terrible. Pain low down - about a 4.

I have flare pain (which is in the rectum) that throbs and twinges and feels sometimes like there's an ice pick in there, otherwise I don't. It continues with bms and I"ll put the pain up to a 10. Included are whimpers, squeals and clecnching my fists into white-knucklers.

After bms, the rectal pain ends, but throbbing continues and I have lots of activity in my colon from spasming and activity in general.

I sometimes have gas pain, depending on what I eat. It'll hit about 6 hours later. Last night I had lentil soup, red corn chips and salsa, yogurt and a few chocolate animal cookies.
I forgot to take Beano with supper....I had sharp gas pains around 1 AM across the transverse. It was all out this morning..lol.

I use antispasmodics to deal with the cramping. I've never needed prescription pain meds for UC. Tylenol also helps with the pain that accompanies the throbbing when flaring.
