I am in sooo much pain. My lower left side just won't ease up. I can't curl in fetal position cause it hurts and I can't stand straight up cause it it hurts. I'm in tears if it's pressed on. I called my dr only to find out she will be out of office tilAugust. should I just go on to the er?.

Well I'm glad I came to the hospital. I have epicloic appendigitis and it's extremely painful

Thank God you went to the ER. Being in that much abdominal pain is almost always something serious. What's the treatment for it? Hope you get it under control. Keep us posted.

The only treatment is pain management. The dr said the thrombrosed area should reroute the blood flow and resolve on its own. But if it doesn't then then it will require surgery to remove the tissue that has been deprived of blood and to reroute blood flow. However this condition is not related to having crohns. But with all the pain meds I've had I can't seem to poop. Now that is causing pressure on the painful areas.

I was going to say ER asap. With your history of Crohn's, I'm surprised they didn't just remove the appendix because the blood flow can be obstructed by inflammation as opposed to it being twisted or something.

I had my appendix removed 5 years ago. It was the fatty appendigis attached to my colon that became inflamed and thrombrosed. The dr said it could take 1 to 4 weeks to heal. Surgery could be done but they try to allow it to heal on its own

Oooh gotcha, that makes a little more sense then. Hopefully it heals quickly for you.
