Here, there, and everywhere???

I don't know if this is the Crohn's or the medication....but 'something' is always paining me, at least for a while. Seems like muscles are giving out..today my back went out, I'm on my way to lay on a hot pad for a while. Last week the knee gave out. That has eased up somewhat. My big toe hurts, not:blush: badly but constantly. And my facial cheek bones ache on and off. I take Pentasa, Prednisone 25mg (tapering) and Azathioprine. I have not mentioned all of this to Dr. because by the time I get to see him, whatever went wacky today seems to get better...until the next thing gives out.
Any clues anyone?

Prednisone is a culprit for many of your symptoms. Hopefully you are taking sufficient amounts of Calcium and Vitamin D3 to absorb it. Pred can cause Osteopenia and arthritis. Let your doctor know.
