Hello All,

For about 6 months I've had all sorts of new symptoms. I've been referred to almost every specialist there is. My latest referral was to Neurology for the numbness/tingling and pain in my leg. My PCM suspects MS so I'm anxious about that.. To backtrack a rundown of my symptoms:

Sharp intermittent pain in upper abdomen
Upper back pain (in the area of lungs)
Chest pain
Tightness in chest when breathing
Pain under left rib radiates to left shoulder
Painful leg/knee along with tingling from shin to inner thigh

I haven't talked with my GI because I've never experienced these symptoms with Crohn's out of the 8 yrs with the disease, but I could be wrong and hopefully someone can help.

My meds are mesalamine and Azathioprine. I was recently prescribed 50MG of Prednisone for 3 days for Sinus problems..

Crohn's patients have an increased incidence of Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. If you're having trouble breathing/feel like passing out, go to the hospital asap.
