I had surgery in 1995 with a reversal and have a j-pouch. In that time I have only had one other issue that I am aware of and it was some very heavy bleeding where I ended up going in for an emergency colonoscopy to see what it was. They said it was really inflamed and I don't recall if they put me on meds or not. Anyway, two days ago I started having a sharp pain in my lower left abdomen. It feels like razor blades are cutting my insides especially if I try to make a bm or urinate. I am also getting sporadic pains when I am not doing anything. My dr just put me on Levofloxcin 500 for a sinus infection and I don't know if this is related or not. I did a general internet search and it appears not.
I have been taking some suppositories (Canasa) I have from 5 years ago and are expired but I dont know what to do. It's not really helping. Stool is liquid and I am going an increased amount.
Any suggestions if this will go away on its own or if I need to go to the drs or ER? I really don't want to but will if you think it would harm my overall health.
