    Hi Annie

    Very simalar to me a few weeks ago I had been having severe pain in my stomach on and off for a couple of month's Went to a&e ended up in hospital for a week. Had mri I scan and found two narrowings one with scar tissue . Was on IV steroids for five days and on 40 mg prednisolene reducing to 0 over 18 weeks. Pain has settled down bowel habits still unpredictable. Also doctor has put me on a low residue diet for the time being to help smooth flow of food through my bowel. Already on humira and azathioprine b12 injections. Don't suffer in silence go see your doctor and get help. You probably need some short term treatment in till your surgery..

    Good luck
