ok so i left a few details out of my story i had a surgery april first this year the day after i got diagnosed with crohn's my appendix had ruptured and they said i had 3 days to live if they didnt operate immediately so i told them go ahead because i have a daughter and i wanna be as well as i can be for her, they also took out a foot of my colon or 6 inches of my small and 6 inches of my large intestene idk if thats the same thing but it was one of the two. i lived with this stomach pain for almost a year before i had it checked out i laid in bed with a couch pillow on my stomach while i laid on my side in pain for weeks and months at a time. it was horrible but i was stubborn and thought it would go away like everything else did but it never did so i eventually got to the hospital and got diagnosed and had the suregery. after i had the surgery i was supposed to go see a G.I. doctor and i never did, i know bad on my part but i dont have the money to go pay to see one. sad excuse i know but its only the truth. now almost 6 months after my surgery my stomach is still in pain daily and i just started my asacol like a week ago if that they have me on 800 mg 3 times a day..... plus im taking prednisone and that seems to help for a little while. but now my rectum is very very very tight and i haven't had a solid b.m. in months its all been liquid and it hurts very bad when i have to go to the toilet. sometimes i dint eat all day just so i dont go to the toilet as much, its crazy but thats how painfull it is to go when i have to go. anybody ever had this problem? if so can you help me?:poo: :poo: :poo: :poo:
 
Yes this is common, remember when they did the resection, they left less room for your food so his goes through faster than before, I hope that makes sense to you My Husband has this problem. Peggy
