So I was diagnosed with crohns about 9 years ago. I was only 11. At the time I had an abscess andhad surgury to get it removed. They also told me I had a fistula. I went through rounds of steroids and a couple other medications such as pentasa.
Now I'm about to be 20 and haven't seen a doctor for this in about 6 years. I always refused to go when my parents tried. And was tired of all the medications which made me feel odd.
I've been living off Imodium for the past 2or 3 years now.
I don't get any pain that doesn't go away after using the bathroom.
My only other complaint is I have scar tissue from the original abscess down there that will sometimes burn or get easily irritated.
I currently have no insurance and no money to pay for insurance.
Do I really need a doctor right now?
