I was diagnosed when I was 14. I had surgery when I was 18. For the most part I have been pain free. The last few years I been under a lot of stress (loss of job) (death in family) (mother diagnosed with Alzheimers) (wife massive heart attack) and feel my Crohn's has returned. I have my yearly appointment next month. My last flare up included back pain. I now have a lot of lower back pain and bloating. I also have been having bladder pain. I am wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar? I have been lucky over the years but always thought some day I would have problems again.
