Anyone had this...

[Km8367]

I woke up two days ago with painful lower gums.. I looked into the mirror and saw that my lingual frenulum, that muscle that attached the tongue to the bottom part of the mouth, was red (almost like a busted blood vessel) and extremely painful. Today it is still painful but not as red, however it looks like there is a little white ball on it, could this be crohns related? I have tried googling it but havent found much of anything on the frenulum. Maybe it is just torn, but now I can never be sure whats crohns related or not?!

I have no doubt that it is crohn's related KM, but would give a call to your GI. Since my dx last year I have had my first mouth problem this week! I'm worried Remi is not working very well for me anymore.

Mouth ulcers, blood blisters in the mouth, etc. aren't unusual with Crohn's. See your GP.
