As far as I know, is due to inflamation from Crohn's. Also prednisone has that side effect. And some people with Crohn's develop ankylosing spondalitis.(arthritis} Hope you feel better soon

I am having the same painful problem. I am having it checked out to see if it is linked to my Crohns or if it is a different problem next week. I hope you get yours under control!

I get that too-

I like getting a manicure and have them do the hot wax on my hands- the heat really makes
my hands feel better!

Dont use anti-inflamitories- not good wth Crohns!
