I'm sorry ipoop. I will work on a sig. Why are people on this board so condescending? Edit: Thanks for everyone's help. I'll just go somewhere else to seek help and information....
At my last appointment my doc wanted me to try a 14 day course of Flagyl. Even though the stool test I had done prior came back negative for anything. She also did a CBC and a CRP at the time she...
I just posted in another thread about my right hip hurting lately. When I first got diagnosed with proctitis it was my left hip that was bothering me. For me it's not in the hip joint, its at the top...
Any other regular joggers in here? Have you ever found jogging to aggravate your proctitis/UC? I try to jog about every other day and I sometimes feel like I aggravate my proctitis after a run and...
A CRP of .81 is unremarkable....
Quincy, that link describes EXACTLY what I have going on with the wrist. That Finkelstein test is right on. Definitely getting a wrist brace after work. Edit: and unfortunately there is no topical...
Thanks for the info you all. It's just very strange because it really hurts and I am positive it's not because of any trauma. I am going to go buy a wrist brace today and start using it for a bit. If...
No to all. It's very strange. Came on very suddenly....
My right wrist has really been bothering me the last couple of weeks. Inner side of the wrist where the thumb meets the arm. Hurts with movement and especially if I rotate my thumb all the way up....
Definitely no nsaid use recently. I can't remember the last time I've taken motrin. I used to get chronic headaches years ago though and ate it like candy and never had any gastro issues. I had my...
So I've been on the mesalamine enemas going on three weeks and I can say I feel like the proctitis has much improved. I haven't seen any blood or mucus at all in a while. However, while it's improved...
So what was your actual heart rate?...
Sounds like something more like a seed than blood. Blood is not going to stay in your GI tract long enough to solidify into anything hard like you describe. You don't have colon cancer. Please don't...
Regardless of whether it helps UC, definitely get your level checked and supplement if it's low. My level was in the cellar at 10ng/ml years ago before I started taking 5000iu's a day. Last time I...
In risk of beating this horse to death, I just wanted to let everyone know I did have some tannish streaks on my poo a bit ago. So there. All is well. lol...
I think they will say everything is fine. Some more info on AST and ALT levels: Normal levels of AST and ALT may slightly vary depending on the individual laboratory's reference values. Typically the...
Of course anything's possible, but being 28 years old I highly doubt its cancer. Try not to catastrophize too much. Colonoscopy prep is the worst part and it's not that bad. The actual procedure is a...
Not sure if it would make a difference but body size may come into play as well? I'm a 6'3" 215 pound male so maybe just more body to absorb med(assuming you all might be smaller)? Again, at any...
I don't know a lot about the creatine result but that doesn't look that far out of range. I think I remember reading that for AST and ALT the levels need to be like 2-3 times higher than normal range...
Wolsnik, this is surprising......every bit got absorbed? no white skunk stripe on the poop? I wonder if I am having a problem absorbing because I am passing a lot of the white stuff w/ my two BM/s...
I'm treating proctitis at the moment and I was thinking maybe laying on my left side might be counterproductive. It makes sense to lay on the left side if you want to make sure the medicine reaches...
Thanks for the input. Last night was no issue at all. Or this morning either. It's like it all got absorbed or something because there was no liquid at all with my bowel movement a bit ago....
I'm about to start these tonight for the first time. How hard are these realistically to retain? Is it a conscious effort to keep your butt puckered or does the sensation of something could leak out...
Physician Assistant. It's a healthcare provider who is supervised by an actual Physician. Very similar to a Nurse Practitioner. In the US they are not full MD's but are both supervised by an MD. I...
So I had an appointment today at my local clinic up here with a PA I've never seen before. Talked about my diagnosis, how the proctofoam has done nothing and that my GI appointment is almost a month...
Yeah I did ask to be put on the cancellation list. This is the only place I know of in my area within reasonable driving distance. I live in western South Dakota so we're talking hundreds of miles to...
So I have a an appt with GI doc. Unfortunately it's not until May 2nd. :( As I feared, the proctofoam has done nothing so far that I can tell. If it's working as certainly can't tell. I haven't had...
I went thru a period with chronic headaches and ate motrin like candy and never had issues. But thats been a few years ago. I rarely take motrin anymore. The last time I took an antibiotic was 4...
I did ask and I value your all's input very much. :-) I talked to the docs nurse this morning and she said she would definitely refer me to a GI doc. I haven't heard anything back yet. Hopefully...
I didn't mean that in a negative way towards anyone. I really appreciate your all's feedback and knowledge. Just kind of a bummer to think this could turn into something worse....
You all are just full of good news. :(...
I called yesterday afternoon for the referral. I've yet to hear back. I've looked up the "benign lymphoid aggregate" and everything I've seen states its completely normal. My colon, from the report...
Thoughts on diet modification and probiotics? In your all's opinion would either provide a benefit to proctitis? I know both can be of huge benefit to UC but considering its confined to my rectum I...
Thanks ipoop. I called down to the medical center yesterday and the wait times to see a gastro are already booking into May...Ughh. I started my first dose of proctofoam last night. Second one this...
Thanks Bull. I just thought I would ask here as most results I've found on the web for proctitis are usually lumped under ulcerative colitis. I understand my condition is acute(and hopefully stays...
Thanks ipoop, I'm not doubting the diagnosis. I'm doubting the treatment plan provided by this surgeon. I guess I just left the appt yesterday feeling like I didn't get all the answers I wanted....
Another colonoscopy? Uggh...
I have no idea what the cause is. I wish I knew. Having ruled out infectious causes or any trauma what could cause colitis of just the rectum?...
Hi all. Ive been having some bleeding with bowel movements and pain in my rear for about the past two months. I had a colonoscopy a few days ago. I would've gotten it done much sooner but that's...
