Jen39, thanks! The flap is the only thing I haven't tried. And I don't think I have ever taken Lialda....
That's perfectly fine you are a lot of help. I am taking Bactrim and Cipro. My Gastro doctor had to prescribe it because my colon rectal surgeon wouldn't....
They did try both IV Prednisone and Benedryl before the second session that I had the allergic reaction. But you know I think I am going to keep pushing all he can keep saying is no. Do you know if...
I want to add that I am currently taking and have been for 2 years Humira which doesn't seem to be effective. I am also taking Asacol. I can no longer take Immuran, something about the FDA...
So last week my Colon Rectal Surgeon mentioned having a tempory Ostomy to treat my fistula. I do not want to do this as I don't see the logic of have a tempory Ostomy when we don't know how long...
I am going through the same thing right now. Doctor jabbed me with a needle yesterday to take a culture but only removed a small portion of the pus, so I still have pressure and pain in my labia. And...
I agree with getting a second opinion. Like most people with Crohn's I went through a lot of wrong diagnosis before they got it right and I saw a lot of doctor's before someone finally knew what was...
So I have been fighting my fistula's again. It's the worse it has ever been and I now have an abcsess in my outer lady parts. I have never felt such a horrific pain. The doctor added a third seton a...
I am just relieved to hear someone else has joint pain in the jaw. Sometimes when I tell the doctor stuff he acts like I am talking crazy so at least I know it's not all in my head....
I don't think it's the drugs. I would say it is the malnutrition but you should call your doctor. I think you are taking prednisone, which I absolutely hate and generally refuse to take. When I...
It most certainly messes with your monthly cycle. And visa versa. I have an anual fistula that drains more and hurts more the week I have my period and even my Colon and Rectal Surgeon says they...
So I am familiar with the joint pain in the usual places...knees, ankles, toes, wrists, elbows and fingers. Now I have the most insane joint pain in my jaw, right in the joint where the upper meets...
When I left the hospital two weeks ago and stopped at CVS to pick up new prescriptions they came out with two big containers of Asacol but told me they only had enough to give me for that evening,...
Are we too tough? I was flaring for four months and calling the doctor but not really pressuring him. I had bad joint pain for the first month and didn't call till my whole body hurt, granted In 18...
Anyone that posted about surgery for a bladder to bowel fistula can you please tell me what type of incision you had? The first time I had this done 18 years ago I woke up with a 9 inch cut up my...
I am sorry to hear this. I am very lucky to have a great husband who understands. We haven't been intimate in months but he never pressures me, he gets things for me, visits me everyday at the...
Tash91, when I had my central line put in they just used a novacaine type of medicine that did absolutely nothing but numb my fingers. I screamed bloody murder for about 30 minutes while the doctor...
You might want to ask your doctor was his/her advice is, that is what I did when I moved from NY to VA. Fortunatlely for me, when I got down here one of the first people I met had a sister with...
Daunting, I know you said you have seen 3 different specialists but I don't know that I would stop "shopping" around. I saw so many doctors before I was diagnosed and the end all be all result was my...
Nanners, I was thinking that I saw a lot of people on the board with Percocet listed in their signature and that might work for me too. I already take Miralax everyday as it is, GI says so much of my...
I have an anal fistula that causes constant pain. Last year I was on Darvocet until the FDA took that off the market. I got the pain under control and was only needing it about once a month and then...
Jeanneac, That's funny because as far as I can tell your parent's are to blame for passing the defective Nod 2 gene to you, and since it is a double recessive trait you can blame both of them. My old...
cannynancy - I take Miralax, it is a mild stool softener that my doctor prescribed for me but now is sold over the counter....
I have been using the Humira pens for a year and a half and I am counting down to the end of the prescript ion. I think I have four refills left. I absolutely hate the stuff. I have noticed that the...
ALgirl - A fistula is a track that occur anywhere along the digestive system. I have had them from my small bowel to my bladder and from my small bowel to the outside of my abdomen. This one is an...
They put the two new setons in February 10th which is why I am pretty sure this is not residual pain from the surgery. The pain is the same as when the abcess was there. The one problem I kept having...
My surgeon told me that my anal fistula is "unusual". I had it straight for 9 years - doctors back home didn't believe in anything but draining it. Somehow it managed to heal for about 4 years (must...
I just had my first four shots one and a half weeks ago and am getting ready for the next two on Thursday but the shots were incredibly painful. I let the pens set out for about 15 to 20 minutes...
I have Crohn's and I am prone to anal fistula's but about 4 years ago I took remicade and I hadn't had a problem since. In June I had my gall bladder removed about a week later I had severe pain when...
Hello all, I don't have diabetes but I know of a young girl who does. I am familiar with healingwell.com because I have Crohn's and hang out at the Crohn's message board. Anyways, this young girl is...
