Every time I have to take a poo, which is a lot, I have the most horrendous pain shooting down my colon. It causes me to be on the verge of tears and am usually clenching the cabinet next to me with my hands. This is newer for me. Anybody have this and/or know what is going on?

I am on remicade and imuran. Neither have brought me into remission. I still have the urgency, blood, diarrhea, but also have a formed stool occasionally. The pain is definitely worse with that. I have a 2nd surgery consult on Friday and a colonoscopy next week. Hoping I can wait that long!

I get bad pains too. Hope you feel better soon.

When you have pain. What do you do. Does it go away after a few days or do you go right on pred incase it's a flare.

I really haven't stopped flaring in 2 years. I had a small remission when I was on pred for 9 months, if that counts. I am trying to avoid prednisone at all costs. The meds I am on have at least lessened my symptoms, but am no where near remission. This pain is new for me... As in just the past week and it does not seem to be going away. I will probably call my GI tomorrow, but will be seeing him next week.

Thanks, Sara! Hope your pains go away as well!

I very often get lower back pain and abdominal pain right before and while I am going. My GI said that it is my colon cramping, and it is awful!! Usually it goes away a little while after I go to the bathroom....and when it comes back I know I'll need to go again soon. Sometimes it is so bad while I'm going that it makes me nauseous and have dry heaves. If the pain lingers after I've gone, a heating pad helps a lot.

Ah, yes....the dreaded "white-knucklers" led up by whimpers and squealing, finished off with heavy breathing and tears. I used to have periods like that too.

I get them when flaring and they're horrific. Then the throbbing spasming afterward that encourages the extreme nausea.

Rectal and colon spasming...I do use dicyclomine every 6 hours, tylenol, gravol and a microwave bag put on my tummy (either laying down or stuck in my sweatpants band..lol (when I'm at home that is).

Have you been on any rectal meds as of yet? If not, they may be worth trying.

I hope you're able to get some relief soon...if the Remi isn't working for you, what's your next med choice?
