Knowing your pain is actually an important in relation to crohns. Not that we want to feel pain, however it’s important to be aware of the pain, to know where it is, how strong it is. This gives us and the doctor insight to where our issues lie.
I haven’t seen or spoke to my doctor since I had the catheter removed. I did call and get refills for all my medications. I need to make an appointment to see her. Last time I spoke with her, it sounded like we were going to explore other options rather than the asacol, since it seems to not be doing what my body needs.
Since having the catheter removed from my hiney, I’ve been dealing with this nerve issues (sciatica, I’m sure). Oh the joys of a real pain in the a$$ (or in this case, upper thigh/lower tush). And, since actually being diagnosed with crohns, pain medication has been my friend, ha.
But being on pain meds too often, drowns out my pain.. I am, however, not willing to live with the pain. So I’m trying to compromise. I trying to take half of pain pill (norco) at a time…. right this minute, it’s not doing much for me though, so I think I’ll head to the hot tub.
