Weird pain

[Lilja]

Hi,

I rarely experience pain daily, other than occasionally.

The pain sits in two places; either in what I believe to be the terminal ileum, or at the end of the descending colon, and they do not occur at the same time.

The pain usually comes when I have eaten a full meal, and sits on exactly the same places, and usually lasts for max 10 minutes, and then disappear. At first I thought the right side pain came from the appendix, but after having studied pictures of the small intestine, I tend to believe that it comes from the terminal ileum, but I’m not sure.

I don’t take any painkillers or other medication, and since the pain lasts only some minutes, I haven’t done anything to investigate it further, and I always forget to mention it to my GP.

I went off Entocort 9 days ago (and the D has not come back...); but there is no difference as to the pain, with or without Entocort. If I were to explain the kind of pain, I would say as if someone bit me, if you understand what I mean.

Have any of you the same experience, i.e. occasional pain on the exact same places that last a few minutes and then disappear?

I would like to think that it is harmless and has a logical explanation, but I’m interested in hearing if this is a known phenomenon among people with MC.

I sometimes sense pressure/pain that I believe to be the ileum. Sometimes my stomach will feel like the food is 'stuck' there and can't go farther. I suppose it is that the inflammation narrows the openings and causes a small amount of pain or pressure in places we usually don't notice. Mine only last a few minutes also.

Hi Theresa,
I have also thought of narrow passages both between the ileum and the colon, and between the colon and the "end station".
