new member of forum old diagnoses of crohns
Hi all, im new here, but was diagnosed 10 years ago with crohns .. my first intro to it was extreme and i lost over two stone in 10 days .. after a long haul of treatment, (steroids) and Codine (painkillers) i went back to work for a little while and travelled and never really returned to hospital. Not much after care if any was given at the time.
I have now returned to hospital for treatment after a flare up. (ileum) i have been given steroids and another treatment of medicine so far so good, but i am still in so much pain around my back (as if i have a bra on thats too small) its crampy and tight and hurts sooo much! It was painful down my right side for years and now i know it is caued by crohns .. but have not been given painkillers and have tried paracetmol .. i was given gavescon (for heart burn!) but now i am in pain but still not wanting to stop meds .... anyway glad i found a forum! i dont work full time because of my fatigue and i also suffer with depression so its a vicious circle! im in the uk and london gets very stressful at times for me... i have finally found hte NACC and this forum and new meds, so perhaps things will look up soon, does anyone else get this much pain though? x thanks
