If you are asking how do you manage the pain without medication. It all starts with the diet and exercise. Reduce carbs, sugar, caffeine and alcohol. If this doesn't work you may require surgery. Sounds like you might of had a flare. Hopefully this helps.

I don't drink or smoke nor caffeine. I go into hospital and that's all they give. I was placed on Visanne and it actually made me sicker. One doctor even suggested chemo. Why would I need chemo.
