Mezavant for Ulcerative Colitis / Rectum Pain

Hi I'm in day 5 of my UC flare and my stomach inflammation seems to have subsided by 60% however the pain in my rectum is actually unbearable. Does anyone have any suggestions to help with this.


Thanks

    2. hi symptoms are still the same (it sucks) I start a salofalk enema tonight, so fingers crossed. Thanks for checking in

  2. I sit on an ice pack. Helps me alot.

    1. thanks I certainly give it a try

  3. for me, rectal steroid foam (prescribed by my GI) was a lifesaver!

    1. One last question do you take any remission tablets?

      1. remission tablets? Do you mean prescribed treatments? I tried many, from pred, Mesalazine, and Entocort, to Imuran and Remicade. I'm not on any now because I am in remission, and I no longer have a rectum!
