What Can Cause Fatigue And Severe Lower Backache While On Salofalk And Ibuprofen?

I am 67yr old male. 2 yr ago had an episode of toxic megacolon treated conservatively, diagnosis made of late onset U/C although have had symptoms for about 9yrs previously. Since 2016 have occasional episodes of tiredness, severe low back pain and increased BO (no blood or mucus), but my partner says I appear to be yellow (eyes and skin). I usually return to normal after 24-72 hours. No significant additional abdominal pain associated with these episodes. I am taking Salofalk on maintenance dosage, plus Ibuprofen for joint pains. What is going on and should I be concerned?

Hi,



The symptoms of tiredness, low back pain may not be due to any pathological illness neither it is due to the past medical history of toxic megacolon, over all it seems to be muscular spasm low vitamin in system may cause the symptom, so you can try some multi-vitamin, even exercise is also advisable, in differential diagnosis or if it is the ever illness of any kind then it can be fibromyalgia.
