You need a specialist, a GI/Gastroenterologist. They will help you get on the right medication to get your flare under control but with all the fevers and nausea and pain it could be an obstruction of not even a perforation (that's just a guess, what did the CT scans show exactly?). Once you find the best treatment for you (there are tons of different ones out there) then you'll slowly go into remission and should be able to start other activities but that could take weeks, months or up to a year or more depending on your body and what's going on inside. No one can give you an exact amount of time until you go into remission unfortunately.

Welcome to the forum!

Hi Manny and welcome! Ugh, I'm so sorry to hear you're suffering so much My heart goes out to you bud.

Crabby is absolutely right, you need to be under the care of a good gastroenterologist. Please find one.

What medications do they have you on?

I wish you well!
