I always get back pain- particularly lower back pain- with my flare-ups. My doctors typically brush it off, but it often gets to the point where my back pain is far more intense than my CD pain even during a serious flare. Sometimes my back prevents be from getting out of bed for days on end. I recently had surgery so my flare was kinda put to a halt, but my back pain persists. I'm taking Tylenol regularly, Robaxin, and Dilaudid (prescribed for post-op abdominal pain so I don't take it often) until I see someone for it. Would a rheumatologist be the right person? Or a physiotherapist? I know massage therapists helps a lot with my back pain but it's not a foolproof option, the pain does still linger.
