Post surgery

I have Crohns disease. I am post surgery (2 years). I had a resection of 13 inches of bad intestines. Recently I had a colonoscopy and endoscopy because of pain and frequently visiting the bathroom. All results were negative. My question for my Cronies' is, do any of you have scar tissue or complications after surgery (2 years!) that would be causing pain?

It is not uncommon to develop scar tissue at the area of anastamosis (where you were reconnected). That narrowing can certainly cause pain. This should be easily seen during a colonoscopy.
