I went to the ED in July with severe Right lower abdominal pain and bloating. I had my appendix out in 2005. The CT showed inflammation and my WBC's were elevated. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis and put on flaxyl and cipro. 2 weeks later I had diarrhea-woke me up at night and went 14-20 times a day for over a week. Had general fatigue and chills/aches at night. Had coloscopy in August-showed some mild inflammation in ilieum and rectal area-was put on Asacol. Asacol helped the rectal pain but RLQ pain continued. Went back to ED in Nov for severe RLQ pain. CT and bloodwork normal. I had changed from Asacol to Pentasa the week before and the rectal pain had come back-significant burning pain. Went to another doctor and had more bloodwork-borderline IBD tests. Went off Pentasa for a few days in Dec and had severe RLQ pain and right hand pain. Got better after a week back on Pentasa. Had another colonoscopy-essentially negative in late Jan. I continue to have burning pain in my rectum and RLQ and right hand, general fatigue. Stress makes it worse. Do I have crohn's, lupus, what????
