I have been waken from a sound sleep with sidepains very early in the morning, which can always be relieved by getting up.
This last week, the side pain is now happening during the day, with the worse in the evening. My side pain has been getting a lot worse in the last week. The side pain is typically on both sides.
Do you have any thoughts/suggestions on what could be causing this and would a updated colonoscopy find the cause? Any other tests that you recommend?
Hello, Scott. Thanks for writing.
I'm sorry you've been so uncomfortable lately, and that you've been having trouble getting a good night night's sleep. I'm sure that must make things even worse!
I'm not certain what you are describing when you say that you are experiencing "sidepains." Can you be more specific about the location (towards your back? towards your abdomen? on the left side, and the right side? high? low?), as well as the type of pain (for instance: cramping? stabbing? throbbing? burning?)
Is this pain ever associated with stooling? (In other words, is it always relieved by "getting up," or does it ever resolve by moving your bowels?)
Do you have CD, or UC? How long ago were you diagnosed?
If you will write again with more specific info, I think I can be of more help to you.
Hope
