I have been going through a horrible time with my UC over the past 3 weeks and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight...gets worse each day. My concern right now is this constant throbbing pain going from the right side of my stomach, across and down my left side. It feels like severe gas pain, but no matter how many times I use the bathroom, positions I try or even some activated charcoal, it won't budge. I'm afraid I have a blockage or something worse could be wrong, I have been in the bathroom with D every hour since about 3am today (today's not a good day), so perhaps not a blockage, but I figured if it were gas, I would come out! I have not had pain associated in the past with my UC, so I don't know why all the sudden I'm getting all this horrible cramping that seems to get worse by the day. We are struggling to find a medication for me, I am intolerant to all Mesalamine meds, currently am on 40mg Pred, been for about 3 months with no results, just symptoms worse by the day. I am to start Uceris as well, as soon as my pharmacy gets the order in! I hope that will help, life is getting unbearable.
