I just finished reading my latest issue of AARP magazine. It had a very interesting article about the frequent misdiagnoses because doctors seem to be relying on obvious symptoms and ignoring (perhaps) other causes (or multiple causes) of medical problems. It worries me that you might be being rushed into a surgery that perhaps you don't really need. Judging from the tenor of your post, this concerns you too.

There are articles from time to time about medicines and or procedures that can aleviate Crones. I havn't paid too much attention.

Can you get another opinion?
