Can Entocort and/or Prednisone intensify rectal pain?

[tandnn]

I am a 29 yr old female, who was just recently diagnosed with Crohns of the illeum and crohns of the rectum about 4 months ago, eventhough for the past 5 years I had been suffering from the symptoms on and off.  To make a long story short, the doctors originally believed that i had a colon polyp that caused all my abdominal pain and rectal bleeding.  However, even after the surgery the symptoms never improved and just recently my symptoms started to intensify.  So my doctor first started me on entocorte, I took it for about month and started having sharp rectal pain that keeps me up at night?  I consulted with the doctor and but me on pentasa and canasa which neither was really helpful.  Just recently, he put that  me on 30 mg of prednisone which at first i feel great but after 3 days the rectal pain has started again.  I been on prednisone for 2 weeks now and was wondering if i should continue taking it and if anyone has had a similar experience?  Can these drugs possibly worsen my condition? Any suggestions or comments will be greatly appreciated.  THanks

Thank you for your comments and im glad your better after removing your colon.  I fully agree that steriods are not good and I look forward to getting off the prednisone soon because I really dont know if its working.  I have still been on and off in pain, but the prednisone has worked better than the other drugs.  For now, Im just hopefully to put the crohns in remission and to get back to feeling almost normal again.
