Question: I have Crohns Disease, terminal ileal Crohns diagnosed 1988, Terminal Ileal resection 1990, my last colonoscopy showed no macroscopic nor Microscopic abnormalities in Nov 2010. Since I have had my two children 2005, 2007 and currently have no Marinha coil fitted my periods are becoming increasingly painful, ( I had no bleeding when I had coil fitted and felt great ) I suffer with bloating ( dr has put this down to indigestion )nausea, diarrhoea, pain in my hips ( constantly ) and lower back particularly during my menstural cycle and over the past 18 months I have been losing blood during my period only from my back passage. I have talked to specialists and doctors and they put it down to Crohns disease but I am sure this isn't right, Im constantly exhausted but I have put this down to having two children and working full time life etc etc but at the weekend I had pain from trapped wind that took my breath away for a few seconds, so so painful - this can't be normal? This pain happened just before my menstural cycle started. My periods have always been regular and only last 2 days but Im concerned about the bleeding from back passage which is definitely only during my period. I have also seen a specialist for such terrible pain in my pelvis and had an MRI scan which showed nothing. Can you suggest anything, I have another Dr appointment for this week but Im beginning to think he thinks Im looking for something, Im really not , I just feel so old and in pain and Im only 39!!!!
