Hello, this past March I was in the hospital for a problem with my blood pressure being really high. While in the hospital my GI doctor came in to see me, dont even know how she got the news that I was there? the only dealings I had had with her was about 2 years ago I saw her for "GERD" Anyway, she tells me that they found from my blood work that I had crohns, even though I had no symptoms. She put me on 4 pills a day of lialda. After a couple months I was getting all the symptoms, and kept going to see her over and over. She did scopes, tried other meds for colon spasms, nothing has worked. I read online that Lialda has been known to cause people problems, so I took it upon myself to stop the Lialda. After 2 days of stopping the Lialda I started feeling better, all the symptoms of being tired, sick to my stomach, going to the bathroom all have stopped, except for one major issue. Some time around the middle of June, while still on Lialda I also started having major pain in my rectum after every bowel movement, this problem is still with me and its really getting me down. The pain is sharp, and throbbing, burning, and it lasts for 6-12 hours after every movement. It seems like there is lots of pressure in my private area, and the only relief and it is minor is to sit in a hard chair. I have a appointment with another doctor in about 2 weeks, it has taken almost 2 month to get in to see him??? I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and what was done about it? Sorry for the long post, and any misspellings, I am desperate for answers
