Well Hi everyone! I am new here. Dx in 2005 with Crohns. Had surgery in 2006 after mulitple hospilitzations. Have been in remission up until a year ago. Now I'm back in the medical hell of this disease and I am feeling pretty depressed about it. Trying to stay positive but It is difficult when you feel like crap everyday. I have been hospitilized twice in the past two months, mulitple CTS, endoscopy, started Humira yesterday. My question is. I am having debilitating pain almost daily.(stomach, joint pain,and mouth ulcers) My GI doc will not prescribe any pain meds for me. Said I have to goto ER or Urgent care if needed. I went to Urgent care on Sunday.(in the same clinic as my GI by the way) and they referred me back to my GI because he is the one treating my Crohns. So I called my Gi and he referred me to my Primary Care doc. Who then sent me back to my GI. I am starting to feel like maybe I'm crazy. What are people supposed to do with Chronic pain? They treat you like some kind of drug addict. Or expect you to just deal with it... Has anyone ever experienced this type of treatment from their doctors? Its So frustrating. I finally took a hit of pot that I've had in my drawer for about 5 years and It made me even more worried than I already am about my condition. Although it did relieve the pain, the mental worry was worse. HA!
