Well about 2 and a half weeks ago i woke up with a pain in my lower right side, thought maybe i pulled a groin muscle or had a hernia, just know it hurt so i went to my normal dr. He did a blood and urine test then told me he wanted me to have a ct scan, (it is uncommon for him, normally he is not one to order those type of tests) I had the ct scan done the following monday the 21st, he looked at it said he was going to schedule a colonscopy. after an hour he called back and said he was instead going to refer me to a specialist in fayetteville, ar and meet with him because it sounds alot like crohns.
two days later i met with him, he read the findings (didnt have ct scan) and said it sounded like crohns, the colon surgeon is in the building beside him and i met with him, he had preferred me to stay and them admit me right away but i wanted to go get copy of ct scan for them to look at. I brought that back the following morning, they looked at it admitted me and scheduled surgery for friday at 10. after surgery i dont remember alot since I was still out of it, but he said it was alot worse than the ct scans show and he had to remove 2/3 of my colon and an abscess. they confirmed it was crohns from the surgery and i have 2 follow up appointments with him. so far feel better, the pain in lower back is gone, the incision pain is what i think is mostly whats left.
