19 year old with Crohn's disease

[Lkslippy]

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease 6 years ago when I was only a freshman in high school. To this day I find it very hard to explain and understand this disease. I was recently taking Remicade but had a terrible reaction which caused psoriasis all over my body, I then started taking Humira to help with my Crohns. About a month and a half ago I started experiencing severe back pain, so bad that I had to take a medical leave from college. It turns out I have spinal fractures which look like were caused by trauma, but I experienced no trauma. The doctors think that all of the medicine I have been taking are causing my bones to become weaker. They even suspect that it could be cancer in my bones.

Hi there and welcome. Simply want to offer you some support. I hope you feel in good hands with your medical team and that they will do everything necessary to take best care of you. is it X-ray or MRI which diagnosed the fracture ? what's the next step your medical team have for you?

I had both done, the X-Ray didn't show anything but my MRI show 7 fractures in my back. The next step is for me to see a oncologist & maybe a bone marrow test.
