MDJunction to me

jayna01"My name is Jayna and I wanted to take this opportunity to say how much MDJunction has meant to me. I always felt so alone before I joined in April of 2012. I felt like there wasn't anyone that really cared about me and what I was going through. I felt like there was no one that would truly listen to me in what I was feeling. Nobody was there for me. That is before I found MDJ!

I have found and met such good people on these forums. I never ever knew there were such compassionate people before MDJ. It's also nice to know that I can come here anytime and get support for what I am feeling. I feel like I have met some wonderful life long friends. It is also an outlet for me to try and help other people that are hurting. It gives me a good feeling inside and gives me self confidence in helping other people.

I hope MDJ will be as good for you as it has been for me! Many Blessings and Much love.

Crohn's Disease ForumsGeneral & SupportPost Surgery Scar Tissue... Questions?

My Uncle had surgery to remove part of his intestines (due to Crohn's) and now he has scar tissue surrounding one of his arteries. If it continues to grow it will eventually pop the artery and he will bleed out. He was going to have surgery to remove the scar tissue, but was told that the chances he could die during surgery were very high.

My questions are:

Has anyone had anything similar to this happen?

What did you do to resolve the issue? Surgery?

Suggestions?

Thanks so much!
