Case: You are seeing a 20 year old white female with 5 months of crampy abdominal pain on the RLQ made worse after eating. There is an increase in stools to 5-6 times a day and she has lost 15% of her weight. PE is sig. for aching in her knees, two oral ulcers on her lip, tender RLQ, no masses, guaiac positive for stool. What does she HAVE, and what is the Rx? (is it appendicitis?)
