Left side Colon Spasms

[theend2]

I am on day 5 of colon spasms I have been having and I was just wondering does this happen to anyone else?

 

[Crohn's 35]

Yes, it has happened to me. Was doing it for awhile and even after a colonoscopy my gi says there was no inflammation at that time and says a spastic colon... then I had to go to the ER, because I was vomiting and D and blood in the mucous. Turns out I had a intestinal bug and the spasms were making it raw and causeing blood in the stool. I still have some spasms but no blood, it happens and even if there is a little chance of symptoms, you KNOW I will get it. I am on better antispasmotics now.

Is there a specific time you get these spasms? Hang in there!

I get them at anytime during the day. Last night was really bad kept me up. I have dicyclomine for this but its not been working of maybe it has been and if I was not taking it then it would be worse. Such a roller coaster ride my life is. It gets frustrating once you think one symptom is gone and another one pops up. Crazy isn't it.

I have these spasms as well, although not frequently. I use dicyclomine as well but sometime still have the painful spasms.

Yep same here sometimes the dicyclomine just does not work.

 

[pain in the butt]

Yes me too. Stinks don't it . Sometimes I try and lay down and and try my best to relax Ha ha hang in there

Yeah try lying on your side, and heating pad, sometimes it helps. When do you see your gi?

 

[theend2]

I see the GI next week. Now I am in a flare. I started taking zpak because I got an upper respiratory infection not the zpak antibiotic is killing my gut I got mucus and diarrhea just waiting for the blood next. Stinks.

I had Pnumonia Nov, was on the same antibiotics and ear infection. Make sure you eat substantially when you take them, I believe they are for 6 days? Drink lots of water, it does do havoc on your gut but they work. Hopefully you can get it under control..you still on high doses of Pred????

Ya I suspect the prednisone will straighten things up once the infection is gone and I am done with the z-pak. Just another bump in the road that's all.
