Hey guys,
So I've been in a flare for a long time. I just started on a new study drug, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm in pain right now. What do you guys do to ease the pain? Of course I'm taking tylenol, but I was wondering if any of you guys do anything else to just make it easier. Thank you!

Baths as hot as I can stand it, and a heating pad are what works for me. Doesn't take the pain away completely but it does provide some relief

Im a big fan of 1.) Heating pad and 2.) Ice packs.

Normally heating pads kind of make me poop more... so I use ice packs on the gutz, more often.

But dealing with some pretty wicked pain right now that only the heating pad seems to be any help.

I've tried bentyl and it helps a little. The best thing is always going to be a solution to getting the inflammation under control. Are you using rectal meds? my pain improved when I started using cortifoam. which study drug are you trying?

Bentyl and heating pad for me but I don't get extreme pain like others do just a crampy achy feeling.
