I was diagnosed with Crohn's a little over a year ago at age 27 suffering since age 12 I have been imuran which gave me severe abdominal pain entocort did nothing. Prednisone helps my bowels but does nothing for the pain and also keeps me up at night. I have Humira now but I can't take it because I have abad cough. My question can surgery relieve my abdominal pain? What about my headaches and joint pain caused by the Crohn's? I really can't cope Dr is giving up said I may need to go to John Hopkins or Hershey hospital

asweetroy,
Joint pain can be the crohns variety, my GI gave me Tramadol for pain, ask your GI there are also muscle relaxants if that is what you need to sleep through the night.

Loose the part of the ex wife in your signature. If shes that narrow minded "you don't look sick" you don't need to keep reminding yourself. Some people will never get it.

Dwell on something with a better outlook.

If I had a drug of choice it would be Viox. Can't get it any more it just worked for me with no side effects. I took it for years and no heart problems.
