Okay, haven't been here for a long time. I have crohn's and had surgery about
a year and a half ago. I was undiagnosed for about
30 years until 2004. I have suffered from some type of back and leg pain for the last 20 years. It has been very persistent for the last 5 years or so. The problem is I have no swelling and nothing shows up on any test including blood, MRI, CTscan or xray. I also get very fatigued. Both the fatigue and pain vary but are always there. My docs just act like I'm crazy or something and tell me there is nothing they can do. I don't think they believe me. I was taking Darvocet for about
8 or 9 months but wasn't helping much so I quit taking it several months ago. I also have a very had time concentrating. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for years and am on 20mg of Lexapro which does help. I also take 100mg of Imuran. I have pretty much given up on the doctors and am only going to my GI every 3 months to monitor the Imuran.
I guess my question is does anyone else suffer from chronic pain with no swelling and negative on all test????? Oh, I also have osteoporosis....
