Sudden painful flare ups

by Mary Anne

My 19 year old son was diagnosed with Crohn's this past January. He had been on prednisone and was gradually taken off of it as of 2 days ago. He has been doing very well with no pain until all of a sudden this evening he had a sudden flare up of significant pain. I gave him a darvocet as prescribed by his MD. Is there anything else that will help with the pain until I can call his MD tomorrow AM?
