Hi! I'm pretty new to the forum myself having just posted a couple times. I was diagnosed with Crohn's last August 2011 and I was in the hospital 4 different times for a total of 24 days. I also had a bowel obstruction, but thankfully it resolved on its own without surgery. My main complaints with Crohn's are abdominal pain and nausea/diarrhea. I was prescribed Pentasa, Prednisone, Bentyl, Librax, but my Crohn's was a bit severe so I get Remicade infusions every 6 weeks. I also see a pain management doctor for pain medicine as you have probably found out that G.I. Docs don't like to prescribe narcotics. Believe me, I wish I didn't have to take them, but if I don't then my livelihood is greatly affected. I take Oxy, Lyrica, sometimes Ultram and Xanax. You're not alone!
