Currently in a flare, been in hospital for a week on IV steroids because my inflammation markers were high and I was suffering stomach pain. I got out yesterday and am on 30mg Pred and Azathioprine. Before I got out my bloods were all good, I was going to the bathroom very normally once a day and the doctor said it looked like I had responded well to the IV steroids.
Thing is...since I got home from the hospital (yesterday morning) I haven't been to the bathroom at all and my abdomen is fairly distended. It doesn't hurt or anything (just occasional mild twinges), I just feel sort of like I should be going to the loo by now and feel full. I haven't had Crohn's for long so don't really know if I should be worried or not - I've heard of blockages and don't know if this is one? Should I just wait it out and see what happens or am I supposed to go back to A&E because it might be dangerous? Or am I just being a massive hypochondriac and worrying too much after a week of people asking about poop every five minutes, lol. I really, really, really don't want to go back into hospital right now as I have a job interview
Sorry for the TMI.
