Hey Ya'll. How's things going? I know joint pain is sometimes a part of having crohn's BUT what are ya'll taking to help it? My dr prescribed me something for pain but of course the insurance company is an ass and it's not covered ( and that was the generic brand). I'm on another pain pill that I take at night but it doesn't help the pain in my joints. It just helps me sleep. I've been complaining about this for quite some time now. It's in my shoulders, back and sometimes legs but lately my fingers and it's a real annoying. I'm walking at work for the 8 hrs I'm there and using every body part I own just about so I'm getting exercise and such. My doc keeps drawing blood to check for arthritis but it usually comes back good results. I'm waiting for the newest bloodwork to come back. I was told not to take Aleve, Motrin or Naprosyn with crohn's. I'm not real sure why because they are anti-inflammatory. But anyways, I'd love to know what's working for any of you so I can suggest it for myself. Thanks.
