Hello all,
I have been a frequent visitor to this forum from April when husband was diagnosed with crohns. My husband is 43 yrs old and have always avoided regular milk and chicken as he used to feel that it will lead to diarrhea. He was always on lactose free milk and on and off used to get diarrhea episodes. Two or three vowel movements were very much common for him. Our physician told us that he has IBS by doing a colonoscopy in 2007. In the beginning of 2016 he was highly constipated with blood in stool. Our new physician asked us to see a GI and recommended colonoscopy. In April, 2016 the GI said that he has IBD and crohns. He first started Imurano and After his blood work they added Humaira. During this course of medication he got a inflammation (pinnacle type) in the white area of his one eye. We saw an eye specialist and he gave different eye drops and eventually one worked that helped his redness to subside. From November first week he started having joints pain which slowly turned in to stiff joints. Mobility was becoming more painful day by day.
First the doctor stopped the Imurano and started Metotrexate. Then after seeing no change in his condition the GI stopped Humaira... still no change and they did his MRI and said his crohns is not completely gone as in the report it says residual crohns can be found. He stopped all medication and started steroids 30 mg daily (prednisone ) medication. He told not to taper until he feels better and these pains are because of Humaira and will start Imurano again with entviyo or stellar ( spelling of medication might be wrong
).
Now after all this story my concern is he is still in pain after leaving Humaira no change in his pain and he is taking ibuprofen like m&ms.
Is joint pains common in crohns... earlier he had swelling and pain and now just pain. Is there anyone out there who had the same problem with Humaira. I am concerned about his health and are we going on the right path or are we missing something?
