After the CT/Scan

Last night three hours sleep  after runs and  trips to loo

Today intense cramps almost beyond endurance on the scanner

If you have cramps with your IBS ASK FOR A MUSCLE RELAXANT INJECTION

All that was offered was one buscopan  and I almost reached screaming level

Hi I am so sorry, you are in so much pain, did you ask for Muscle Relaxant, Buscapan doesn't work for everyone, I think it causes more problems. I hope you are feeling a bit better today. If not might be an idea to speak to your GP. Take care.xx

I'm going to be in the same position as you as I suffer with Cramps badly..Got my colonoscopy next Fri so two days of enduring cramps & on the bathroom floor in agony feeling faint dizzy before I get scanned..Did you take anything to build yr electrolytes up as I'm told this is what we need to stop our bodies doing this?

No what to take? Should have asked for subcutaneous injection of muscle relaxant got fobbed off with one buscopan. Nowhere nearly enough
