Symptoms question?

[Lam123]

Hi everyone! I have been going through a mild flare for a few months, the last week or so things were going well, crohns symptoms had calmed down and my knees were feeling good. Then today I wake up and my knees feel like they have a bit of inflammation, can anyone tell me what can trigger this with the knees? Other then a crohns flare up.

Your signature says you are tapering off of steroids. Steroid tapers triggered knee pains for me the first time I ever tapered.

The withdrawal of steroids can be just as annoying symptom-wise as when you are on them. I also toggle between the emotional highs and lows with even more lows during a steroid taper.

You are exactly right. Tapering has it's own issues! Ugh!
