Yesterday I was just chilling out when I suddenly had a pain in my left side. It continued to get worse until I couldn't take it anymore and had to make my first trip to the emergency room. Turns out I have a UTI, which I've never had before. The doctor said that while pain with a UTI is normal, he thinks the UTI is causing colon cramps.
He gave me a Bentyl shot, an antibiotic (that he says will not cause UC problems) and a prescription for Bentyl pills. I've already taken 3 throughout the last 12 hours or so, and it still won't let up. My heating pad isn't helping, laying or sitting in any position is incredibly uncomfortable. I feel like I'm about to lose my mind if this pain doesn't go away.
