Colitis flarex

Can anyone tell me do they get a burning in their front passage when they in a uc flare and seem to aggrivate bowel or the bowel could be aggrivation font passage at my wits end weaning down on steroids could it be steroids

  1. Hi , I'm sorry we didn't see your comment earlier. How are you feeling? Have things gotten better these past several days? I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "burning in their front passage", but I'm wondering if you mean in your urethra area? If you haven't already, I would definitely reach out to your doctor. We are not medical professionals, but I can say that there are different reasons for burning when urinating (or in that area) so it's good to see a doctor to get it figured out. I do hope that you can get some relief quickly! -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)

    1. the burning was caused from steroids im weaning down after havin a hard time was with specialist today im starting injections soon a little better but had some bleeding just now with bowel moment hope its not starting up again im on week 3 off steroid down too 15mg for a week then 10mgfor a week then 5mg for a week

    2. oh I'm so glad the burning has gotten better now that you're weaning the steroids and I really hope the appointment with the specialist today helped you feel you're moving in the right direction as far as treatment goes. Be sure to keep your doctor updated if you do continue to experience symptoms (or something new pops up), but hopefully after you've started the injections and your body adjusts you start to feel some relief. I also wanted to share this article about the ins and outs of starting injections from one of our advocates, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/biologic-injections. Also, this article has some information on what to expect with an injection, https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/expect-during-injection-biologic. Please, if you're comfortable, keep us posted with how you're doing, and, of course, reach out any time. Sending you gentle hugs. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
