Hi everyone,
Just looking for some advice and support. I'm currently in a flare with my crohns. I started humira two months ago and have seem many improvements (nausea and rectal bleeding gone, Abdo pain and weight are improving). My inflammation was in the rectum, ascending colon, appendix, and throughout spots in the small intestine.
Now to the point. The last week I've been having a lot more pain to the lower right quadrant, which I attributed to the inflammation near the appendix. I figured I would watch it and call my doctor if it gets worse. Today and yesterday I noticed significant pain to that area during sex (with each penetration) to the point we had to stop. The pain stays quite severe for many hours after. I'm assuming it's related to the crohns (deep penetration would likely irritate the appendix right?) but I'm concerned about other causes especially since the pain with sex is new despite all my other symptoms improving. Appendicitis? Ovarian cysts? Fistula? Abscess?
My gi doc is on holidays. I'll try to call my gp tomorrow morning to get some advice, but anyone else experience LRQ pain which worsens significantly with vaginal penetration?
Thanks!
