One last question, when their joints are bugging them, how often in a day do they apply ice or heat?

Ok, thank you!

Ok, good to know. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer all my questions and supply me with excellent information. This is all new to me since I'm the past all the joints calmed down when the crohns calmed down. I truly appreciate it!

Ok, do your kids follow a gluten free diet? I have heard lowering certain foods helps. A lot of people claim removing gluten has helped.

What's TENS unit? I have recently started swimming and have a puppy to walk daily, so hopefully that helps. I was thinking of trying physical therapy too.

What dose of folic acid is given? What do your girls do when the arthritis is acting up? I have been adding ice, elevating and resting it, but doing some walking aswell. I'm sure if I lost some weight it would help aswell.

I meant to add, that for the last few months I feel very still in the morning. Dry stiff all over. Also, this week when things started up again, I went into a hot tub, which I never do.

Also, is remicade better for joints? Or humira?

Thank you!

So, in the past I usually get arthritis pain in my knees while in a flare. If I'm not in a flare, then no arthritis pain. So, early last week I notice my stomach was off, not horrible, but definitely off. Then it started to feel better, but a few days after that my knees started to bother me...

What do you do for your lower back?

Oh ok. I was on imuran for about 10 years and didn't have any issues. But it stopped working, so now I'm on humira. I'm having some joint issues, not sure if the crohns is active again or are the joints acting up on their own.

Did you take methotrexate? Did it help at all for joints?
