I've been under a lot of stress this week and last night I ended up with massive D and was in the bathroom going nonstop for almost an hour. Where I have C-dominant colitis, I'm not used to this. Ever since, my stomach has been killing me. I've taken the pain medicine the GI gave me (it's an anti-inflammatory for the stomach) but it has done nothing. Is it possible that this pain is muscular? My body seemed to be really struggling last night (I had the sweats, the shakes, etc). If it is or isn't muscular, what do some of you do to help with the pain? I started one new job today and start another one tomorrow. I need to get to feeling better quickly!

I think you're going to have to go to the doctor. Hopefully things are miraculously better in the morning but if you're having D and you're in pain, there aren't too many other options. Maybe you have a stomach bug and need an antibiotic.

I don't have a doctor to see yet. I have a new patient appointment on may 31, but until then, i'm on my own. the imodium stopped the D but the pain's sticking around.

If the pain continues, you can go to urgent care and see if they can give you something a little stronger...until you can get into see a GI. Have you tried a heating pad? If not, try holding something warm to your gut area and see if that helps. Also they have OTC pain patches that might work - they're called Salonpas.
