Gallbladder and Chron's
by James
I was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease, about 7 months ago. From what I've read on the internet I guess I have a mild case. Only about 4 inches of my intestines are swollen. After several medications I realized my abdominal pain was coming from two places, more tests determined my gallbladder had to come out. It's now been a month since my surgery and I went through another course of prednisone and I'm back on Asacol. My problem is, this is my 5th day without the prednisone and I'm having severe cramps again. I'm in the midst of an insurance problem right now and cant afford to go to the doctor for another week or two. In the meantime I was wondering if someone could help explain to me what is causing this again. Did I go back into relapse that soon after the prednisone and my intestines are inflammed again? Is it from the gallbladder surgery? Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions out there? Click here to read or post comments. |
