Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while as everything is supposedly ok. I've posted before about my Flix treatment, it seems to work and although I initially was against it I think I need to stay on it. It's just after 5 weeks without fail I have a flare up for a week then it's alls ok again.
This month has been different, same thing then today i had severe pain develop in my side randomly. Although its calmed down now a bit I can't associate it to anything. I've had a feeling for a while it might be something like stricturing (I've read the thread on what it feels like) because blood tests apparently have show my crp is low.
I know I need to talk to GI but it's a bit difficult, my ibd nurse randomly left in Jan (I'd normally contact her for minor queries) and hasn't been replaced. She actually took a lot of appointments along side GI because i think his surgery is oversubscribed so my appt in March was cancelled and they haven't given me a new one since.
I've got my next Flix next wed but I just wonder if there's any way I can see if I am stricturing, I know it's usually a scope but can they see with a ct or ultrasound? Something less invasive/time consuming. I don't want to find out in a year or so that this pain has caused serious damage if it can be avoided, pain is common I know but I've just had it on/off ever since op so something must be up?
