Hi my name is kaye and ive had crohns since i was 19, now 46,i first noticed that my skin was scally and patches of dry skin, which i later found out was psoriasis, then can those dreadful pains and diarrhea when i first went to my doctor he said it was just a bad case of gastric , this went on for about 2 months, until i collapsed, and was rushed into hospital, i was 10 stone before i became ill but when i was taken to hospital i was 61/2 stone. To cut a very long story short after many operations and 2 years later i had a permanate Illeostomy. A year later i had my 2nd child with rather a lot of problems but all was ok when she was born. Couple of years later i felt rather ill and in pain but not the same pain as Crohns, i also went yellow, i was rushed into hospital again and had to have my gore bladder removed. Since then up until a few years ago i was fine but started getting painful joints and found out its arthritis. I had my anus sown when i was given my permant Illeostomy but a few weeks ago i started to get pain and pressure in lower back and where anus was, i feel as if i need to push, its very uncomfortable, i have an appointment on the 7th march with doctor. Has anyone else had this problem, thank you for reading,

Sorry you are having such bad time. I really hope is nothing serious. Since is on your lower back and you have arthtritis it could be from your sacral joints, sometimes it feels like is on your tailbone. Just an idea. Sending support your way.

You may have developed Crohn's arthritis for which you will be sent to a rheumatologist.
These are helpful specialists.
Sorry for the bad tiem you are having and it must be frightening for you.
Just remember for every problem there is a solution.
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes
