My daughter had an upper GI with barium on Weds and the GI and 'crohns specialist" radiologist think that the pain she has been having for the past month is coming from an area where she had her strictureplasty (for a full blockage) in Jan. The abdominal pain started about 7 weeks post op from that surgery. At first the GI said it was her bowels settling in after surgery but now they see a little odd looking spot where they think the surgery site was. The surgeon out where she is at college (not her surgeon) is not sure the pain is coming from there and would like to "explore" and see if he can find anything else and also said he could go in and do a resection there but it may not stop her pain because that might not be the problem. Oh, and she can just be in pain, some people who have had surgery (she has had 4 now) just have chronic pain.
Her GI and radiologist say she doesn't have crohns and he does not want her on biologics unless he sees a reason for it. He wants her to have a double balloon enterscopy next to visually see the area showing up on the upper gi test and see if there is crohns there or not and if a resection of the area is warranted.
We don't care what it is called, UC or crohns, my daughter is in pain.
Thank you.
