3 weeks ago i was due to have a re-section, stricture removal and ileostomy due to really tight stricture, chronic pain, bloating that was so bad i was literally crying every day. I spent every evening with a hot water bottle clutched to my stomach.
Anyway 3 days prior to surgery i broke my leg quite badly and had to be admitted for surgery - all the above symptoms went!
Initially i thought it was due to not eating - i was ni by mouth for 3 days as op kept getting cancelled.
Then i was on a morphine pump so thought it was that stopping the pain.
Its now 2 weeks post op and my stomach has been flat all that time - yes i still have D which is not fun with a broken leg but the cramping, pain etc has all subsided :shifty-t:
Now obviously the stricture is still there so whats happened ? I still will need the surgery once im mobile enough for DVTs to not be a risk but wth is going on???
A friend suggested that the body can only process one lot of chronic pain at a time and as my leg is so chronically painful my brain is forgetting the Crohns, another sugested my immune system is too busy sorting out the metal plates and screws that its not got time to attack my bowels and then another says its because i am confined to bed so am lying down all the time.
What do you guys think?
