I’m curious if anyone else experiences pelvic/groin/back pain on a regular basis. The best way I can describe what i feel is spasms or cramping. I know I have some pelvic floor dysfunction based on manometry test results but I’m not so sure that’s what I’m feeling. I also have Crohn’s disease that was diagnosed several years after my jpouch and have been on biologics for over 20 years. Anyway, just wondering if anyone deals with this and knows what’s causing it. Thanks!

Yes, I have pelvic and lower back pain sometimes, but it usually doesn't result in cramping or spasms. I take this as a sign that I need to revisit pelvic floor exercises. If that isn't enough, my acupuncturist has prescribed me "Return to Spring" tea pills (Plum Flower brand) to support the pelvic floor lifting the exercises provide.
@Gina M What you're describing sounds like your muscles contracting to help push your food out. When I feel these contractions they can be very intense and painful. Sometimes they feel like cramps in my pelvic area and other times it feels like lower back pain. I guess the more sever your inflammation is the more intense your pain gets. Mine is definitely more intense. The only thing that seems to help me is Oxy.
