Hello Irene, I would say you need to go to your doctor and keep pushing to get some more inforation on what they are going to do to help you. Be very insistant and make it very clear that your current meds are not working. Have they said what your tests results are showing with regards to inflammation?

 

[irene]

They give the answer is can't find the pain from where and inflammation have been clear other just go back take my medi that why I very sad and worry , today went market and push my mother in wheelchair suddenly pain again so I took pain killer just can control some pain but not all, even I want to find job also can't becos of this sickness when I stress also pain now most worry is cant go toilet without medi , can I know u have crohns can u carry heavy stuff or stress ? What kind of medi are you taking? And my dr nvr answer my question what shd I do ?

 

[Angrybird]

I do tend to carry fairly heavy items at times but will then regret this., I do get a bit stressed but sometimes a nice hot bath of a restful day at home helps. I am on steroids at the moment for inflammation and an immunosuppressent called Azathioprine to then keep things under control once it kicks in, then I should be able to come off the steroids. With regards to your doc I would complain if they are not actaully helping you and answering your questions and try to get to see a different one.

Now I have anther problem again ya since last year sep start dr gv me azathprine & steroid too since no use still have pain but dr say Donno pain come from where, everyday I take contipsion medi n lactose still can't go toilet so wat kind of medi can let go I feel very suffer even use all my strength n force also can't after stoma start to pain, pain dr give me take pain killer pill everyday too , name is oxynorm 5mg when pain n OxyContin 20mg take twice a day, do u think I shd chg medi or try on humira ?

Hi Irene,
It is possible the pain killers are causing your constipation. Please don't force when you try to go to the toilet. Constipation from pain meds comes from the bowel not sensing the food properly, so it doesn't move properly. Usually something to stimulate the bowels is needed (dulcolax?). Please check with your doctor.
good luck.

[Miss Underestimated]

It sounds like you have more than just stress. Do not give up - keep going back to the doctor.

I'm sad that you are having such a bad time.

[Angrybird]

I don't have a stoma so cannot advise too much on this although I would say if it painful and hot you need to have it looked at quickly just to make sure there isn't an infection. You definetly need to ask you doctor about further treatment to help with the pain as well. Food is also important when it comes to trying to make symptoms a bit better, too much fruit and veg may not be good for you. Neither is dairy or caffeine or foods with little pips and seeds. Have a look at our diet forum as there is a lot of information about this here.

So mean maybe inside infection do feel hot I try to use cool pack but still hot my dr keep say just keep medi no big problem but he Donno the pain we suffer when pain come we can't do anything

 

[Angrybird]

If you can please try and see a different doc, just to get a second opinion and hopefully some better medical assistance.

 

[irene]

But I am in Singapore and can't afford to ask chg dr cos is gov hospital If ask chg dr will how to treat me I Donno

 

[Angrybird]

I see, then I would keep going back and your doc until they help. Do not let them put you off and insist that they help you with the pain, is there anyone who you can go to if you are not happy with the care you are getting?

 

[handle]

Hi Irene,
When you say your 'stoma' is pain and hot, do you mean stomach?
I agree with Angrybird, you should try to get better care. Take someone with you to the doctor to help you talk with them.Try Humira or Remicade maybe that is the right medicine for you.
good luck.

hi Irene, I have been following this thread and I am sorry you are in pain. I agree with Handle. Next time you see the doctor, you should take somebody with you. When you are in pain it is hard to talk to the doctors. Just dont give up!
