hi,
I was admitted to hospital last week with a suspected small bowel obstruction. This was confirmed by CT and Xray, within two day everything settled down and i was discharged pending an outpatient camera examination.
i have crohns and have had three previous surgeries, my disease is managed by 75mg of Mercaptopurine and nothing else. I am symptom free (touch wood) and this is the first issue I've had in over three years.
The surgeon who was responsible whilst i was admitted seems to think its possibly strictures / adhesions from my previous surgery as my Crohns has not been active prior to this and my bloods were clear.
what i want to know is if it is adhesions what options are available on the NHS? Is surgery the only option or what other options are available? Also in my own mind i know what a Crohns attack feels like and there has been no run up to this, such as weight loss, tiredness or generally not feeling well.
your help is appreciated.
