question: Sorry I very tired, I work in Torbay hospital in the eau department which as you know is very busy. I was admitted again last Monday while I was at work with terrible back pain and stomach pain, they have again confirmed that I have degenerative spinal disease in the lower back, which they diagnosed in January. Could having crohnes disease have any implications or cause problems? I am 53 years old female and was only diagnosed with crohns last January 2010 and have had part of my Ilinum removed small part of bowel! The op didn't go well and I was in  icu for four days, oh I could go on! But can you answer the question about my back plus what do I do about work I feel useless .
