The pain involved with Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis or another form of Inflammatory Bowel Disease is often one of the hardest parts of the condition to handle. What do you do to deal with it.
Do you use drugs or medications on a frequent basis (and if so, which ones)? Do you take the pain as much as you can, and take drugs when things get worse than normal? Do you take a bath, use a hot water bottle or any other techniques?
I used to pretty much just lay in bed and wait for the pain to end. I did not want to take pain medication ever, and sometimes used a heating pad. I felt that no matter what I did though, rest in bed was the best medicine for me.
