Thank you. Yes, I do. I had an MRI recently, and it revealed other issues that were causing my lower right side abdominal pain, not being detected by CT Scans (a cyst inside my spleen, a very concerning multioculated cyst in my pancreas, and a few other issues). I have been on both Azathioprine and Budesonide, yet still had excruciating (take you to your knees) abdominal pain and diarrhea (5-8 x a day). They found that my Crohn's actually was improving, but these new findings are a bit concerning and they believe this is the cause of my continued pain and diarrhea problems. It is worth a look, for sure, if you are on immunosuppressive meds and still having problems. Especially if your CT scans are coming back good. I am very thankful that my gastroenterologist took me serious enough to look closer, as the pancreatic cysts was described as appearing to be an IPMN.
