I've been having problems with Crohns since the start of the year with right side pain,bloating.I was just released from hospital after a 3 day stay where the only gave me tramadol for pain.
This has been on going for nearly a year I've had ct scans and colonoscopy and now waiting for an MRI.
My question is if my crp is only 7 why is the pain so bad??

Hi.

CRP is genetically influenced so not everyone will generate high numbers. Its important to look at the bigger picture rather than one blood test. Scare tissue could cause a narrowing that would cause pain and not elevate crp.

I hope you get some answers from the MRI. Sending you my support.

Keep in mind I'm no doctor, just a patient like you.

I have heard from quite a few that apparently the blood tests are not the most accurate indicators. I hope your MRI goes well.
