Last Saturday, I incorrectly inserted pentasa enema forcefully and I was injured. Immediately after I had a severe d and cramps that extended to the intestines. I called my GI and he told me I should see the colorectal surgeon. I did and he said I have an accute fissure and prescribed me a cream that includes glyceril trinitrate as one of its components. He decided I stop any rectal meds. This caused me hypotension and I stopped it. I had one of the most painful nights ever. I couldn't sleep coz of the pain. So, I asked to see my GI urgently. He called the surgeon and asked him about my condition and both agreed I should take neither enemas nor suppositories until I see my surgeon on Saturday and I have to apply a new cream and bear up w any pain. My proctitis is horrible, I can't sit coz of pain. My GI prescribed celebrex as a painkiller but things are not good. I was told that if the surgeon approves of my resuming the rectal meds, I will only take suppositories and not enemas. I have a problem w pentasa supp as my colon sees it as a laxative that has to be expelled. Not taking rectal meds for a week made my proctitis worse, swollen and I have watery d. My GI insisted I abide by the orders of the surgeon. Any advice?
