Hey everyone, just looking for some info!I suffer from crohns,over the past few months have had extremely sore joints.Everything from my fingers,ankles,knees,everywhere aches it seems to be worse in the morning and can take me awhile to get out of bed in the morning due to stiffness!!Also my eyes tend to get very puffy and swollen i just wanted to know if anyone else had the same problem as I have heard joint pain can be common in crohns???

Hiya Clarabel

Yeah, me too!
think I'll order a zimmer!
when I spoke to gastro, he said it's very common, but also mentioned it was a side effect of Pred withdrawal too, so put me back on steroids!! but Entocort (budesonide) this time, he also upped my Pentasa to 8 a day, both these meds seem to be working Crohns wise and joint pain wise too!
what meds are you on at the mo?
