Suggest Remedies For Discomfort And Pressure In Rectum

hi there I am a 48 year old male with crones, I have not been feeling well for a couple of weeks and and now am on a course of predisone to help with the flair up, it has been 9 days and I am feeling worse rather then better, I get lots of pressure in my rectum area when I have to have a bowel movement but I do not feel any absesses in the area, I am not sleeping as the pressure is very uncomfortable, what I would like to know is if I went into an emergency room is there anything they could do to make me more comfortable?

General Surgeon, Dr. Anders Mark Christensen's Response

Hi,

They could scan you to see if you have an abscess or do an endoscopy and take blood samples to assess if you are responding to the steroids.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
