Hello, I have had colitis for aprox. 3 years and just recently had the jpouch surgeries x3. I also have AS for aprox. 2 years. My family DR. doesn't want me to go on an antiinflamatory to help with the AS pain for fear of messing with the jpouch and small intestines. He said I could still possibly get colitis or crohns in my small intestines. My questions are1. is this true? I thought once it was gone, it was gone and 2. Do I need to be on some form of antiinflamatory to slow the progression of my AS or will the tramacet he has prescribed do the trick? Does anyone else suffer from AS as well and if so what meds have you been prescribed and how effective are they, any side effects? Thanks for your time and have a good day!
