What to take for pain
Posted , 5 users are following.
Having low grade pain continually for last few weeks. No fever or diarrhea or constipation. Went to GP who prescribed 400 mg of ibuprofen for a week. I thought ibuprofen was not to be taken with DD so was a bit surprised, but does it mean if taken for a long while? Have not taken them but paracetomol is not working to relieve the pain. Do I need to go on liquid diet or take antibiotics as finding the pain quite difficult on a daily basis?.
Seeing GP again on Wednesday but think I will ask for a private referral to a Gastroenterologist as can't go on like this. It is making my anxiety worse. I do not feel ill and have not lost my appetite. I do not get it when laying down at night but comes on as soon as I have eaten in a morning. Any advice on what to take for pain would be appreciated as I'm sure you're not meant to have it every day.

No problem. I hope that I haven't alarmed you! Has your GP tested your blood for inflammation marker's?

Had that done just before scan about 4 weeks ago but realise bloods can change quickly. You did not alarm me and thank You for your concern. I am really fed up with this as i've forgotten what a ' normal' colon feels like without discomfort. Going on a cruise on 25th and don't want to feel like this. Maybe a course of antibiotics will help as never been given any.

I certainly feel for you as I have discomfort everyday . I was diagnosed a couple of months ago and there isn't one day I feel well. I was perfectly healthy up until then . I am frightened to eat . I take paracetamol and a hot water bottle everynight. I have changed my diet and take light laxitives every day . It's awful isn't it . Poor Micheal , surgery ! What an awful condition ! Never heard of it before ! 😣Best of luck to everyone x
