Crohns and Myelitis

[karisue]

Can anyone tell me if myelitis can be connected to Crohns, I was in hospital
about 8 wks ago after a small bowel obstruction, I had a scan 8 days later they said it was clear. When I went to my consultant 3 wks later he told me they had found I got myelitis, I go back on 24th May.

This past week I have had pains in my back which go round into my abdomen, I was taken from work to my surgery, had bloods taken and told to take pain killers and go home and that he would ring me with results later that afternoon, which never happened. In the morning I rang the surgery and they said my FB Count was fine the other I was told was nothing to worry about. I still have pain and now taking voltarol tablets for the pain. Does anyone know anything about and
wether it is connected in any way.

Many thanks
Karisue

Have you ever been checked for kidney stones?.....Those are apparently common also for people with Crohns'.....I've had them twice - and now go for a check up every 6 months.....next check is this afternoon, actually - when they do an ultrasound (alternates with x-rays).
