Crohns for 15 yrs

[littlebaby]

Hello
Ive had Crohn's for almost 15 yrs (will be this MAY)
Iam on alot meds for my Crohn's disease.
But Ive learn how to deal with it
But does anyone have Joint pain?
I do
I was very young when Crohn's hit me
I can rememeber waking up to pain and It took a long time to know what really was going on with me. I however don't know anyone else with Crohn;s You think I would after all these years. But my Daughter is really GREAT supporting and helping me when MY CROHN"S is acting up. She is my supporter and helper when I NEED HER THE MOST
If Im not making much since its because I"AM ON PAIN MEDS because I had a rib pop out of place and poped back in place a couple days ago BUT ITS STILL VERY SORE .
AGAIN HELLO AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Hey I was 12 when I a diagnosed WOW 17 years with Crohns. Joint pains is something that I have had my entire life. The other day I almost went to have my elbow x-rayed cause I thought it might be broke or something. I waited a few days and it went away just like that. I have never met anyone with Crohns either, never really thought about it before. How did you pop your rib out of place? That sounds real painful I had bruised ribs once and I couldnt believe how bad it hurt to do anything!! Laughing was the worst:ylol2:

Hi littlebaby and welcome
I hear yah about the joint pain.Everyday! I have had CD going on 30 years now since I was 16.Back then it wasnt real popular.I remember going to 3 different Gi before they could dx. me.Even then nobody really talked about it or herd of eat.The disease is like a roller coaster ride still never knowing how I will wake up in the mornings.Which part of my body is gonna ache the most then dread going to the bathroom cause you know that soon as you go your gonna be in pain for the rest of the dayand how many times are you gonna go.Yes I am on pain pills too mostly for that reason and the multiple fistulas that keep coming.I have been on pred. on and off since day one but I have not been totally able to stay off them. Cant seem to get past 2 tabs(5mg)dry skin and severe joint pain. Almost feels like I was hit with a Mack Truck.LOL
You should ask your dr. about Remicade or Humira for the joint pain and something like actenal(1 pill a wk.)for bones ostepherious (sp?)There is also an infusion you can get and it is suppose to last for a year. It has helped me alot in regards to joint,muscle and bone pain.
Remember you are not alone there are alot of people here on this forum that care. So if you have any questions just ask and someone here will always answer!

Just ask take care Tammy
