Glad to find forum ,hello to all..I would love your opinion on my dilemma please.
GP sent me into ER ,pain in my right side ,cramps ; cat scan ,operation ,3 cms of small intestine and several cms of large intestine removed because of ulceration, thickened intestine etc..Diagnosis Crohn's disease ! ....for half an hour ,app with GI who decided it was unlikely to be crohns ,I'm 59 .no crohns in family ,no bloody diarrhea,...GI thought it was a one off event from taking too much NSAIDs during extensive dental work ,that I'm part of a small percentage of people that just should not take NSAIDs ..has anybody ever heard of this ? I'm afraid to hope ..recovering from opp .now ,colonoscopy in a few weeks to confirm ( or not ) diagnosis .Thanks to anybody who reads this and can help ,and good health to all .
