I fell horribly ill on Friday and have been the same (although with some slight improvement) over the weekend. Had horrible pain on my right side, constipated for 3 days, no appetite and felt sick constantly. the most I can manage to eat is soup.
Had an appointment with my consultant today and he said the ultrasound I had last week shows that the inflammation in my illeum is starting to move out of the bowel. I cant remember the technical terms for it but that was what he basically said. He thinks I will need surgery but he wants me to have a CT scan and then possibly see a surgeon.
I am having the CT scan on Wed - although im not sure what time it is at - Will have to ring the hosptial tomorrow and find out. But then Id ont have an appointment to see the doctor again so dont know when I will get the results. He is normally very good though so he might ring me - or do you think I should go to the appointments desk after the CT and see when he can see me??
anyway - I am worried about having surgery. On Friday I was terrible but it has gotten better over the weekend and I can walk (slightly hunched over aparently) and I did manage to go to the toilet this morning. I still feel sick and cant face eating much but the pain is only bad if you press on the area affected or if I lie down. So maybe it will just resolve itself??
If I do have to have surgery he said to have a think about any questions I may have - but I cant think of what I should ask - can anyone help?
I am felling very emotional today and keep having to stop myself from crying. I really thought I was doing ok until recently.
