hey JC.
about 6 yrs ago, I had a resection done for my crohn's etc. while during surgery they said I had a fistula going to my bladder, which they cleared out during the surgery..I had no symptoms of this, and was surprised. Needless to say ever since then I have the same problems you mentioined. the fistual to my bladder from my small or large, not sure.. comes and goes. Just had it act up 2 weeks ago, it's gone now. taking flagyl n cipro. and on Humira weekly. (this is my 4th week in a row for Humira after taking it bi weekly, for 3 months)
If you can avoid surgery I would, odds are, the fistula will come back anyways..they seem to have memories and find that weak part or opening..and break thru so to speak.
I have had, 'air/gas' pass thru it. feses too. burning . urgency to urinate all the above. mibe must be a small pinhole size.. and comes on every 4 months or so for a week or so, then clears up thank god. But it is a 'weird' feeling. I know the second 'gas' passes intp my bladder, you feel the pressure. it isnt a normal feeling we are use to.
Not sure how bad yours is. but Remicade should help it. with lots of flagyl n cipro too.
If you can tolerate the pain and uncomfortableness for a bit, I would try to get the meds to work etc.
Like a said, odds are it might return again anyways, cause they cut open your bladder, and put in a tube for about 5 =5 days, so the bladddr heals ,so you don't urinate normally etc.
Hope all works out for you. But mine has come n gone for the past 6 yrs, not too often though, luckily, but I have plenty of fistuale activity on my butt anyways lol.
