Brief Answer:
yes, it is concerning
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Yes, your symptoms are definitely concerning. Your pathology report says non- specific chronic inflammation - has tubercular inflammation ruled out? Does not report say anything like a tuberculous granuloma? Please check the test report again and let me know.
Although this is concerning, you can wait until Monday for the GI appointment.
Or, this could be a flare up of the chrohn's by itself. Please discuss about both the above possibilities with the GI doctor.
Get well soon.
