I am 29 recently diagnosed with crohns and colitis about 2 months ago. 6 months ago I stated having bad stomach pains, constant restroom usuage, bleeding, joint pain and swelling, lost 40 pounds in a few months, and lots of fatigue. my doctor started me out on 40mg of prednisone and on lialda. sinsce starting the medication I have been alot better. occasional bleeding, some fevers but mostly normal. the problem im having is extreme pain and swelling in my knees and hips. the doctor said I should try humira or remicade. would it be smart to see a dr who deals with things like arthritis first? Before 6 months ago I never had a problem. I have figured out some trigger foods. been lurking and thought I would join.
