Message: [QUOTE="Hankster, post: 3369939, member: 906"] Experience it? The worse pain in my life. Spent a week in the hospital. Had to watch what I eat. No nuts, raw veggies. Later in years my doc said "well it hasn't been proven". For years now every 4-6 months I get these mini attacks. Immediately my doc calls the pharmacy and I take Metronidazole and Ciprofloxacin. One is 10 days the other 7. Cramps and constipation is unbearable. Once the medicine kicks in, you will feel fine. Until the next one. Oh I forgot to mention 5 years after my first attack I needed surgery. they too portion of my intestine which was riddled with Diverticulie(sp). Small pockets that collect matter, settle in a crevice and cause infection. When I was rushed to the emergency room, I was in extreme pain. I lay in the ER actually ripping my shirt sleeves with my teeth. I don't wish this on my worst enemy. Good luck. Colonoscopy will reveal whats going on. Also I had a colon reconstruction. Something like that. [/QUOTE]
