hi jersey im sorry 2 hear bout ur pain. i only got dx wiv cd this feb, i was admited in march with a flare up but soon setled down.
june they found an abcess in my back passage which they did surgery and drained, july the surgeon found the abcess still there so did another operation but kept the drain in, oct when i went bak thinkin i was getin my drain out he told me the mri scan results shw the abcess stil there so 31st oct i had another operation 2 b drained again.
thats 3 exactly the same operations in 5 months. i had a check up wiv my surgeon yes2day(tuesday) and he could not give me a timescale of how long the drain will stay in and if he will need 2 operate again, its the same abcess it just keeps growing back.
im on azithroprine 4 my cd but keep bein put on difrent antiboitics,
i have just started takin a very strong painkiller n tht has basikly made me a new person, not only does it take the pain away so i can sit on my bum now but it has kept my bowel movements under control so much it does not irriate the area where the drain is, because its in such a difficult place everytime i go 2 the toilet it irritates the drain etc
i no ur down at the moment but ur not on ur own every1 has there own unique case some worse than others but justremember to keep finghtin cuz if u dont fight it ur body wont. :)
keep posting let us no how u getting on. xxx
