Question.. freaking out a little!

[monicajulie]

So I started taking entocort and imurAn a few days ago.. starting to feel pain in the lower back (similar to a kidney infection) anyone else have this issue? I don't get kidney infections often so not sure if it's coincidence or a medication side effect? Thanks in advance! Freaking out a little!

I would suggest calling your doctor or the IBD nurse and letting them know what is happening. Try not to worry, and as said above, stay away from doctor google. Remember that having pain there does not always mean that there is a problem with the kidneys, it is common for pain to feel as if it is coming from one area when it is actually coming from another. Keep taking the meds for now, but contact your doctor. If you cant get hold of your GI, a GP should be able to at least diagnose it if it is a kidney infection, and get you started on appropriate treatment.
