Absolutely you're flaring. There are varying degrees of inflammation and symptoms, and you should be treated for inflammation and flaring.
You should......and I stress this....be on rectal meds. Please ask for them.
As well, you should ask for an antispasmodic. I use dicyclomine. Start out with the lowest dosage of 10mg.
What's with some doctors\????
quincy

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!
