Hi
I am new to the forum and wanted to share my story to see if you think I may have Crohn's or a related illness. I am a 30 year old male normally fit and well.
I have been unwell for 10 months now:
Abdominal pain, mainly right sided can travel into side and back.
Lower stomach/pelvic area pain and cramps.
Pain in right testicle.
Problems passing urine, slow start, jittery during, do not feel like I have emptied my bladder once finished, leaking after finished even though I stand a couple of minutes afterwards. I have had blood in my urine too, and a couple of UTI (uncommon in men I believe).
Headaches.
Dizziness.
Eyes - gritty feeling, bloodshot, general pain and discomfort, flashes of white and some black dots.
Bad appetite on some days.
ZERO energy.
I was a healthy fit guy before all of this started attending the gym 6 days a week and a clean diet. Now I do nothing.
I have had blood test after blood test done. All okay. Kidney function wasn't great a couple of months ago but has climbed slightly.
X-ray, Ultrasound of abdomen, cystoscopy all normal.
I am scheduled to have a flow test tomorrow (checking if my bladder is emptying correctly). I am also waiting to be listed for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy and CT with contrast.
Do people think I may have Crohn's I just want some answers now.
I am taking 20mg Amitriptyline at night to help with the pain.
I look forward to your replies.
