Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum. I'm 35 yrs old and have had uc for 25 yrs. Hospital care for the first week of diagnosis. Moderate to severe flare-ups since then with periods of up to 1 year remission. Currently coming out of severe flare-up with Asacol HD and Uceris. My question is...had anyone had issues with their siatic nerve when on Uceris? My flare-up calmed down within a day of taking said medication but my left leg is very weak. Radiating around the knee the most. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I didn't have any side effects at all when I took it. If you had a lot of D and blood you might be low on potassium which can cause muscle weakness. Try eating things that are a good source of potassium and see if that helps. Things like yogurt, bananas, potatoes, spinach are all gut friendly for me.

Hope you feel better!

Thank you for the reply. I was in bed for a few days be fore the uceris. Since I'm usually very active, especially at work, I'm wondering if it is sore from the lack of activity. I'm just suprised how intense and fast it came on.
