Hi, thankfully it's been a bit since I've been on here but have found myself in a bit of a mess at the minute! It's a long story so I will try and keep it brief as possible to keep the boredom away!
Last weds/thurs- normal days, passed a lot of mucus but GI is NEVER interested whenever I mention it so just passed it off.
Friday- surgery on my right ulnar nerve to have it moved due to it being trapped, all went well. No issues, home that night!
Thursday (must mention I have not been to the toilet now since previous thursday, have been taking tramadol (not heavily) for pain in arm and movicol to help bundle things along bowel wise) - normal day, had dinner around 6 at my parents, had a friend over.... Started to feel nauseous and a bit hot and sweaty. 9pm I was vomiting all my dinner back up and more. Got in bed, continued to be sick until 3am (probably talking about 7/8 times). Pain in LRQ and back became excruciating and ended up on toilet 3-3.30 am passing watery stools. Ambulance called, a&e morphine/fluids/antisickness. Abdo xray shows small amount of fecal impaction but nothing major. Dr thinks it's crohns flare up (only diagnosed in March so all very new) sent up to ward and seen by Dr- DOESNT think its crohns but just constipation. (This is now friday). Spent much of fri night on toilet (10-12 times).
Saturday- woke up bit hot. At this point I'm only on oral paracetamol. Fast forward to Saturday evening 6 pm I'm rolling around in pain feeling sick. They gave me oramorph (stuff never works for me) half an hour later I'm rolling around in pain. Only passing minimal watery stool. Hot and sweaty, fast bp etc. Dr called to ward and said he doesn't know if it's crohns or not, they're getting a GI specialist to see me monday but if I'm no better tomorro they start me on hydrocortisone iv. Anyway, pain persists, I beg them to give me morphine iv (only thing that settles me in anyway), they do and at same time they put up hydrocortisone iv.
In short- what the hell is going on?
Bloods on thurs night showed an infection, Saturday morning no infection. CRP is fine but apparently doesn't always need to be raised. All this is really confusing as I don't really have a 'norm' for me just yet.
Can anyone shed any light on the barrage of crap I've just written?! It'd be much appreciated, I appreciate anyone that's took the time to even read it!
Thankyou from a very exhausted patient!
