I am new here, I was diagnosed with crohns after 5 years of constant pain and every test and scan under the sun. They did a capsule endoscopy and my GI told me there were a ton of ulcers in my small intestine. That is when he finally decided I have crohns. My pain is worse on my left side it is there every day. He said it isn't normal to have left side pain that goes into my back sometimes, but because of the ulcers he decided to treat it like crohns.. He started me on prednisone and Imuran, but the pain didn't subside with the use of steroids. He tapered me off the steroids and told me to quit taking the imuran. I am frustrated because I was hoping the Imuran would maybe help, I know it takes about 3 months to work.he has now decided to put me on linzess for ibs it has not helped at all. He has been trying to tell me from the beginning that it isIBS. I know it is not that I have absolutely no symptoms of IBS. I have atypical symptoms of Crohns, I have not lost weight, don't have diahrea but I feel awful most days and it is just affecting my day to day life. Has anyone had similar experiences with their crohns.
