Worried!

Over the weekend, my stomach had got bigger to point I can not do even do size 12 pair jeans up. I have measure my stomach and in 90 inches and soft to touch.
No constipation.

Not sure what to do about it?

I had GP apt for repeat prec and had brief chat about stomach, was suggest phone IBD Nurse.

I told my partner and before I knew I was outside James Cook Hospital.

I spoke to the nurse, She and I both think that inflammation which cause pain, bloating but obvious depends of what MRI results show. She had feel of my stomach and said that no solid lump or massive of tissue anywhere.

She said 'the next step is possible of change medication again to Infliximab or Methotrexate but mean time I have being gave 2 months more Azathioprine and tramadol for pain". I can also taper with Predisolone as well. I plan to take tramadol at evening.
