Please read this, I'm getting unlucky days with my pouch and still can't undersand, two days ago I felt perfectly fit, I could run and went at work for more than 8 hours... I was so happy and considered myself so lucky to have the pouch after years of UC.
Then last night something happened, I began to develop pain on my abdomen area, and this pain developed so much I had to go to emergency room. I really couldn't move, and get up from bed.
They gave me some buscopan (then my surgeon told me it was a mistake, don't know the reason), and the pain subside a little.
The pouch seems still god, I had x-rays and CAT and there weren't any evidence of serious problems, just gas on the bowels which they told me is normal.
Then come back home and ate something, still had effect of buscopan, could walk with just some pain.
Evening, had a relapse and I was sure I should call for ambulance, took paracetamol it had a slow effect but managed to diminish the pain.
The surgeon told me to take cipro for 5 days and vsl3 for 20 days and this could be a bout of pouchitis, but I never read pouchitis can give you so much pain. Now I'm under effect of tachidol and feel a bit better, but when it will subside the pain will come back, that's a kind of pain never experienced in my life, it's on both sides and feels like a strong spasm which never subside.
One thing have to say is I took the evenings before amoxicillin because of teeth cure, they thought this pain can be caused by it. and the day before had a salad and amoxicillin did compact very much my feces (but am not sure this is a blockage or partial blockage as I went to bathroom, though very painful)
as always I'm wondering if you can give me some advice as I really feel desperate.
