Hi. I am going through at the moment, although I am at university. My post is just above yours and I was diagnosed when I was 9, I’m 21 now and doing first year as an undergraduate. Took time off which is why I started uni late. I had a relapse 3 weeks ago and was in hospital for 10 days and...

Okay. I actually haven’t been told how to cover it, just to keep it away from water. I will do thanks

It is in my arm. I was thinking around the same thing.

Hi so I had another relapse and have been in hospital for a week with hydrocortisone and IV fluids. Today they put a picc line in as my veins are all damaged from the cannulas and they said it’s better for the long term with me being on treatment; although they may have to stop vedoluzimab as it...

I’ve tried ibuprofen gel and that only helps for a short period of time. I won’t be able to use Voltaren as I am asthmatic and it does interact with it. But I will ask my consultant for other alternatives. When I mentioned about Vedoluzimab, I asked the IBD nurses and they said that joint pain...

I did see one when I was younger and was in the children’s hospital, but she did put it down as flat feet and not related to the crohn’s. Although I do notice that only in winter that I get this pain. So it is most likely a flare up as I do usually get ill around this time and I am still...

Thanks for the information, I will definetly mention it to my consultant when I see him next. I am on vedoluzimab, but when I asked the IBD nurses they say it’s unlikely linked to the medicine and more linked to the crohns. The pain I get is mostly stiffness in my knees and I end up limping...

I’m still trying to get used to the site lol

Hi. So I’m 21 and have had Crohns since I was 9 and I’ve noticed in the winter that my joints are in agony especially in the cold weather. It has been much colder with it being 1-2 degrees Celsius and I wake up in the middle night crying in pain. I have had a flare up two weeks ago and still...

It could be. You might want to ask the doctor if it’s normal. But I’m pretty sure it will just be like this until it settles down

It’s still early as you had surgery 2 weeks. I remember when I had my surgery and the first couple of weeks were really hard. I had a total colectomy and my stool was really loose. It’s normal as the surgeons have played with your bowel and when they do it can cause problems including paralysis...

Hi. So I had a total colectomy 3 years ago and I changed my bag this morning when I noticed there was a gap between the skin and the stoma. It was bleeding quite badly and it felt slightly out of place. I have been feeling stressed these past couple of weeks and I have been feeling tired and...

Hi. I'm new to this site and obviously to this group. I thought I'd join to meet people who are going through similar things as me. So I basically I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disesase when I was 9 (I'm 21 now). After two months of loosing 2 stone and having severe diarrhoea and refererred...
