anytime i have an extra bad crohn's day (increased pain, diaherra etc). within 24 hours i get a muscle cramp in my butt and my legs start aching. it usually happens in the evening and goes all night....
i have had a small white sore on my butt crack above my anus for a while. it hurts especially when i sit on the toliet (due to pulling on it if i sit wrong) or when wiping. it hasn't gotten any...
right now i'm on entercort and pentasa but i have been on antibotics for the previous fistulas and they were corrected with surgery but they always came back-- minus the last surgery...although...
thanks sammies, fallcolors, well with me i stayed in the hospital over night, and honestly that surgery was the least painful, but that's not how it's supposed to be and they say it's the most...
hey there. i have had several peri-anal fistula's. right now they are gone, but i was having weird pains by my crotch (sorry to be so explicate) so i got a mirror and looked down there. anyways i saw...
i was wondering if reoccuring anal fistula's can be cured by doing an temporary ilestomy (sorry if spelled wrong) i've had 4 surgeries already including advancment flap and fistulotomy and c-tons put...
yeah actually when i was diagnosed 3 years ago they did a scope and i had the crohn's in my stomach and duodeum....maybe i need another scope down there again. I too have had the pain before but it's...
hey guys i've been gone for a while due to having fistomomy surgery but i'm back again =] new problem though....twice last night i was laying on the couch and all of a sudden I had throw up in my...
don't quote me but i think that anyone can have problems taking those, especially people with stomach problems of any kind, crohn's, ibs, stomach ulcers etc. i don't think that would be a defining...
yeah i've had it twice and i don't remember anything, it's the same as the colonscopy....the first time i had a sore throat afterwards for about a day but the second time i was fine....
i've been diagnosed with crohn's for 3 years and the whole time been extremely stubborn about taking my meds and being pro active. This is the first time since then that i've actually taken my meds...
yeah, i too had the night sweats off and on. i would check my temp before going to bed, in the middle of the night, and in the morning. all came back normal. (i kept track of temp to find out if that...
from my understanding the surgery is where they core out the muscle/skin that's inbetween the fistula and the butt hole, so yeah you will have a gaping hole that needs to be packed. I'm really...
I am having a fistulotomy surgery next week for an anal fistula. how much pain will i be in afterwards and for how long? how about the packing (gauze) what will that be like and drainage? i am soooo...
ahh i'm close to you. I've had 3 fistula's 3 surgeries and about to have number 4 surgery on it. They suck so bad and yes it's hurts down there (i too have a seton in right now). the drainage and...
Thanks for the replies, But what I really want to know is how painful are either of these procedures. thanx...
bump...
I just saw my gi today, and he's referring me to see a new surgeon. He's suggesting that i try the plug or fiberin glue surgery for my fistula. Has anyone had either of these? I see the surgeon on...
how do you get one. do you have to get it from your doc or order it online. When i googled medic alert bracelet and went to the website, i didn't see one for crohn's....
i took the pills last time too. they were called osmo-prep. But you need a prescript ion and they don't come generic so i had to pay a bundle but it was worth it....
thanx for the replies!! do new fistula's pop up right next to each other? I mean this bump is right next to the opening of the current one. will that just make the fistula i have now wider?...
md dave, are you saying that the small bump is an abscess? sorry i'm not sure what you meant. can Abscess' be that small and leak clear fluid? I would have thought that the fistula i have now (has...
Sorry for the repeat post but this is driving me crazy. I have a small pink pimple looking sore on my butt right next to my fistula. When my friend pushed on it, clear fluid came out but it is still...
my husband is pretty good about being sympatheic but like everone else said he can never fully understand, and neither can anyone else unless you are experiencing it yourself. I am really more hard...
thanx for the replies, i'm still not sure if it's an abscess or not. the bump is so small and it leaked clear fluid when pressed, which i'm not sure if that normal for an abscess. i have this dread...
oh sorry forgot to add that i'm having decent amount of lower stomach pain today and terrible body aches, but that may or may not be related...
what does an peri-anal abscess look like? (the kind on the skin). I have a fistula with a seton that's giving me pain but now there's a pink to reddish colored bump next to the fistula opening. It...
okay, i posted earlier but no anwser's yet. I've have a seton in for an anal fistula since may. Friday i started having a decent amount of blood coming out of it, that has never happened before. I...
nothing lol...
i think for me the worse part is having the period cramps on top of crohn's crampy pain. it's like a double whammy. since the pains are both in the same area, it's twice as bad. i'm just starting...
also i have a low grade fever-forgot to throw that in....
i've had a anal fistula with a seton in for a while. Today when i went to the bathroom, there was blood on the toliet paper, so i bent over with a mirror and checked it out. There is blood coming out...
yes, twice. My first colonscopy showed crohn's in my ileum. The past two scopes (one each year) have showed normal, althought my endoscopies showed inflammation. I had severe symptoms during both of...
i've had terrible time with anal fistula's so i defenitly feel for you. My Gi doc referred me to a colo. rectal surgeon and she has been taking care of trying to treat them. You really should have...
i've had the same problem...had a colonscopy with terrible pain and diaherra and it showed up fine so he said i must have ibs on top of crohn's. I know the scope can only go up so far, so i was...
this is the exact question i never really understood or got anwsered. A little background: in august i had about 2 weeks of straight diaherra, pain etc. I didn't see the GI until September and in the...
I am worse in the mornings then at night. Maybe it just depends on what you are eating at what time. I stay up late and eat so I suppose that's why I get it in the mornings. But everyone is different....
i get gas pain separately too. But when the cramping comes, i can just lay back and feel the pain as the poo moves down. then i gotta go. But like i said, it's with formed poo too, which sucks cuz it...
just curious, but even when i have normal poop (not diaherra) i still get the bad cramps before having to go. That is the only constant with me. Once I go I am fine, of course, if I have to go...
Sorry to hear that you have crohn's. Its actually not that uncommon, i think about 1 million americans have ibd, split between ulcertive coltis and crohn's, people just don't talk about it that much...
alright, i asked this a little while ago but never really got a clear anwser. With crohn's everyone is always talking about joint pain. Now, for instance, today I have had alot of knee pain and back...
i have read many posts about people showing up fine on colonscopies and then later having another test ex:camera pill and tons of stuff showing up. I'm a perfect canidate for that seeing as though...
what kind of pain is it? Is it a sore, achy feeling, stabbing or does it just hurt after going diaherra???...
prednisone, cipro, prevaid, pentasa and some pain meds. It's funny about the bath thing cuz last night i took a hot bath and it was after that, that i noticed it. Now this morning the bulging tract...
Okay i have had fistula's pop open 3 times. But unfortunetly, i have never seen what it looked like before it popped open. I have a seton in right now, but with pain in my rectum for a while, i have...
for me too it is worse in the mornings. it happens more so for me that i can have one terrible day of diaherra and next day not as bad...
This is just a guess but it sounds like you prob. had some inflammation in your rectum and when it healed it thickened up due to scar tissue. It's good that you don't have any fistula or abcess cuz...
i never had the plug but I did have the advancement rectal flap surgery which where they cut out a flap out of your rectum and cover the hole on the inside. The surgeon was leery of doing it. I think...
i have had alot of problems with abcesses and fistulas. Just closing up the fistula is very tricky. I have had 3 surgeries trying to get rid of mine and nothing has worked and that's why i have a...
I posted over on the fibro. forum but didn't get much response, so I will ask here. When everyone talks about joint pain are you talking about your actual joints??? For a while I have had extreme...
