I have ulcerative colitis and was involved in a rear-end hit and run car accident three weeks ago. I am having constant lower abdominal pain. How do I tell if the pain is from the colitis (ive been in remission 3 yrs), the actual force of the accident, stress or from the chiropracter pushing on my body twice a week trying to relieve the whip-lash?
Hi. Thanks for your query. The treatment is more important to start with than the real diagnosis... Why !! Is very important, but after you get a relief too. It is better to go for a CT scan of the abdomen to see if the pain is due to some internal trauma or something else. Also go for colonoscopy to whether the ulcerative colitis has re-started troubling you. The treatment will depend upon the diagnosis.
