I'm about 5 1/2 months post takedown. So a week ago I came off antibiotics to treat undiagnosed pouchitis (I was having pouchitis symptoms but didn't get scoped). I was doing fine and at some stuff I shouldn't have and it aggravated the pouch, no big deal. I ended up taking some lomotil to calm down the BM's and was taking it easy for a day or two. This is kind of my normal regiment when my pouch acts up and after a day or two my stools return to normal and so does the frequency/comfort.
However, for some reason I'm getting this intense pain/spasm in my rectum every time I stand up that's associated with needing to empty. Once I'm up and moving the pain calms down and after I empty it calms down. I don't have any pain or any type of "straining" going on when I'm actually emptying. It's the weirdest thing. This has been going on for two days now.
Tomorrow I'm going to call my surgeon and request a refill of my bentyl as I think this will probably help since it seem muscular. I'm sure she'll want to schedule a scope since that was the deal with the antibiotics (second time I've taken them and if I have any discomfort again she said she wanted to look).
Has anyone experienced anything like this? For some reason I feel as though it'll just go away on its own in a few days and it's just some weird spasming (which is why I want the bentyl). What do you think?
