Knee swelling?

[peleburrows]

Hi,

I've been on Humira for 3ish months now and over the last week have suffered from a swollen knee for no real reason......can this be attributed to Humira? Have you suffered from a similar joint issue?

Hi

Whilst I was on humira for a few days after the injection I would get swollen ankles and was told by my nurse that some people do get that reaction.
It may be worth phoning an Ibd nurse just to check with them and I would keep an eye on it as you can be more likely to get enteropathic (not sure on spelling) arthritis with crohn's.
Hope the swelling gets better soon x

Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it.

I miss the days when a swollen knee would just be a swollen knee!

No problem. Yeah I know it's never that simple with crohns pluss the mixture of meds hard to know what is causing the problem.
