Suffering From Ulcerative Colitis, What Caused Stomach Aches And Sore Shoulders Muscles?
Hi .. my son has Ulcerative Colitis and is taking the medicine Humira. He has been complaining of stomach pains and sore muscles in his shoulders and tonight he said that his stools are black. What is the cause of this and what should we do about the situation.

Hi
In ulcerative colitis, often there's some blood loss which presents as black stools.A stool test for blood can rule this out.
I may suggest taking pantaprazole 40 mg once a day empty stomach also and dritaverine tabs if cramps in intestines or abdomen is there.
Consult your treating physician also
Thanks
