I was diagnosed with crohns 5 and a half years ago. When i was diagnosed i had a severe pain in my upper abdomen inbetween my ribcages and a pain lower down on the right. they said that the upper pain was prob ulcers... so that was that

ive had the upper pain a bit through out the years. the past 8 months ive had it quite severe. my gp gave me protium which started to help and then stopped. ive had 2 endoscopies and both have been fine. i was on steroids for 6 weeks which got rid of it but it came back once it was finished. ive had a cat scan and it came back perfect - but i dont think the cat scan went up high enough.

its getting to the stage where the pain is so bad i cant sleep. its there pretty much all the time, a little bit but when i eat its really severe where i need to bend over and push in where the pain is and hold my breath. i feel nauseous, i feel bloated when its really bad. when the pain gets quite severe it goes around my right ribcage and into the top/middle of my back

i went to my crohns doc on wednesday and he says its definitely not my stomach, that it might be ibs but he also wants to rule out gallstones and pancreatitis. ive looked up gallstones before but never thought of pancreatitis and the symptoms are similar to what i have

i guess im just wondering if anyone else out there has gone through something similar to this, or has been diagnosed with pancreatitis or gallstones, so they can let me know what their pain was like
or is there anyone out there with ibs and crohns? i didnt know you could get both... i thought it was one or the other.

thanks guys
