Hi there,
Sorry this is my first post without introducing myself but it's late at night here in Scotland and I need some advice. I promise to introduce properly tomorrow.
I have a long and complicated medical history which has finally culminated in a jpouch 3 years ago. For the large part im normally ok but the last 2 weeks I have suffered horrendous cramps, sore passing of stools and a kind of permanent "bruised" pain just inside my back passage. Im having to also rush to the toilet.
There is never any blood but sometimes mucas.
I have tried to soldier on, walking to work everyday (about 36/40 mins) which is a painful journey due to the cramps and having to hold. Ive been taking paracetamol and buscopan to try and ease the pain which does help but id rather not.
About 5 weeks ago I had a sigmoidoscopy and I felt superb after it (I had a slight thickening of the bowel wall) with everything flowing nicely but the last two weeks have been bad.
Do these symptoms sound like a blockage or pouchitis?
