Hello everyone
I got diagnosed with Crohn's on Monday and it was a bit of a shock to say the least. I've spent the last few days scaring myself with horror stories on the internet but i'm not actually convinced i've been diagnosed correctly. The uncomfortableness i have began in January (as testicular pain) and has developed into a daily right-sided pain which is ultimately affected by movement. If i sit still on the sofa i don't really have any pain at all. I only get diarrhea about once a month, which has always been normal for me.
Maybe i'm still in denial but after reading other peoples symptoms i just feel that what i have could possibly have something else. I don't really have much confidence in the nhs in Northern Ireland, so far they have told me it was a Urinary Infection, Appendicitus, IBS, Prostatitus (i had no symptioms of this at all), and a Hernia.
Just wondering what your opinions are on this, does it sound like Crohn's Disease or am i right to be sceptical? Thanks in advance
