I guys and gals. I have Crohn's but since it's mainly in the last part of my colon it mimics UC. I was wondering if any of you have tail bone pain. I'm suppose to be in remission but for the last 6 weeks my tail bone has been achey. It started only in the afternoon on the way home from work (bucket seats). But, now it's consistantly hurts. Even when I lay down. I'm having a CT scan on thursday but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. I'm leaning to either fistulas or abcess (Crohn's symptom) or just good old inflammation. I'm really in a lousy mood about it. Just want to know what your thoughts were.

Vicky, when my disease is flaring I'll get horrible feelings of pressure in that area. I describe it as an elephant standing on my (butt), but I've never had actual soreness. I hope yours doesn't signify a serious turn for you.

Left-sided UC diagnosed 2001. Taking Colazal and Imuran, Remicade infusions and moving into remission. Finally off steroids after four years!

Now in remission for almost two years. Remicade has been my wonder drug.

Yes I get that on occasion even in remission. It sort of feels like it's bruised or something and it's especially noticable when I sit down.

I get back pain a lot since I've been diagnosed with proctitis. It's tough laying on my side, since it makes my tailbone hurt. I don't really understand it.

I haven't had a bad episode of diarrhea since July I think. Last bleeding was in September.

Proctitis - diagnosed April 2007 (symptoms starting in October 2006)

Flares treated with Rowasa enemas

Mild food diet (chicken, rice, collard greens, no sugar, no corn, no beef/pork, etc)

I had tailbone pain and my dr. ordered a xray and it showed lower spinal disk damage and deterioration as well as arthritis. My dr. said its caused from having uc for so many years. I was diagnoised in 1989. He prescribed vicodin but it makes me feel weird so i dont take it. Yet another painful part of dealing with this disease.
