hi Nicky,
The first steps with treatment are hard for most of us. It should get better sometime soon. Have you been taking 12pills a day for the last 4 weeks without any amelioration? If you havent seen any, I think you should try talking to your GI. Maybe that treatment is not the best suited for you at this point. Don't give up, if that's not the one, there are many others out there that might be more promising for you and bring you relief!

Good luck

Hello Nicky and welcome to the forum :) Is the mesren the only med you have been given leading up to and after the diagnosis? Did you start this 4 weeks ago or more recently? It could be that it needs more time to kick in, if you have however been on it for the month and not noticed any improvement then definetly get onto your doc about this. Also did the pain in your leg start when you started the mesren?

With regards to the diagnosis have you been told where the inflammation is located?
