Chronic pain

I struggle with chronic pain from having four Crohns Disease related surgeries. When I eat something it feels like razor blades going through my colon and small intestines. Anything that I have tried to make this condition improve for me has not worked too.

  1. Hi , thank you for being here with us. I am so sorry that you are suffering from this and that you haven't seen improvement. That must be so painful, especially after you already went through the pain of the surgeries. My heart is with you. Have your doctors also not been able to determine how to improve this condition? Is there any chance of a second opinion? I really hope that some relief and peace comes to you soon. <3 -Eshani (IBD Team Member)

    1. I have never damage in my colon and small intestines from four Crohns Disease related surgeries. I take the medication Gabepention which does help me with the nerve damage that I have.

      1. I have heard this medication to be helpful. Glad it offers you some relief for the nerve damage. How have you been feeling lately? Best, Elizabeth (team member)
