Hi All- looking for some quick ideas help... I’m away from my normal Drs and Hospital u til I fly home Monday and am trying to avoid the ER I’m this small town I’m in u til then if possible... I haven’t a bm for 3-4 days except like a 1/2” little tiny strip a couple times. I’m usually a nonstop diarrhea person with nonstop accidents ALL day and ALL night all the time! So this is a first in the 7 yrs I’ve had my Jpouch. I do have a RV fistula that they are repairing on 3/1 and it’s supposed to be small but I can tell by the output vaginally it’s gettibg bigger but not like my last 4 of them where it’s gone all the way through and everything is vaginal. This pain is excruciating in waves I can only describe as labor pains (had a full hysterectomy in ‘08 and total proctocolectomy in 2/11, have had 4 takedowns from RV fistulas where went back into ileostomy for a few months each time) and as in when I first realized I was even sick with UC almost 8 yrs ago. I have been diagnosed with Crohns since the original diagnosis if that matters I only have 6” of My intestinal tract left and a 1/4” rectum so I’ve been racking my brain if it could be UC again in that part of the tract or is it possible to have gotten Crohns in my Jpouch or just an awful pouchitis, or have I twisted something, the leg/hip aches are not allowing any sleep at all when combined with the cramping and the feeling of urgency to need to have a BM... I felt like I’d been through it all and yet THIS is alla firstfor me and I’ve no idea but on here to ask. Lucky me my surgeon is out of town u til a week from Monday (why my surgery was put off til then) I’m between GI Drs and my new appt isn’t for another month because my old GI moved. So, I’m at a loss of what to try right now! Mind you I’m on Fentanyl and Dilaudid full time and they aren’t touching the pain! I was just released from a 10day hospital stay for an ongoing kidney infection within the last week too.... anyone have any suggestions or ideas orever have any of these symptoms where I couldat least try and read about some of the options til Monday when I fly home? ANY ideas and suggestions appreciated.... really dying here and I’m considered a “tough one” to all my Drs and surgeons I’ve ever had- but this is me bad!!! Help!!!
