Hi all, I have had Crohns disease for the past 15 years and had 3 flare up's in that period which caused me to be hospitalized for a short period. I have also had part of my small bowel removed. I am on a number of different tablets (listed below) and am currently suffering from very sore and red ankles which i am told by the doctor is "erythema nodosum". A friend has a friend in France who deals with medicine and has told me that one of the tablets i am taking for my heartburn may be causing this problem with my feet.
Can anyone give me any advice on this problem ??
My tablets:
Esomeprazole 40 mg once a day (for chronic heartburn)
Mesalazine 400mg 2 a day
Ferrous sulphate 200mg (for anemia)
Prednisolone 30mg reducing the dose gradually to 0mg
currently for ankle problem
Azathioprine 50mg 2 a day for 2 months then increasing to 3 a day
prednisolone 20mg reducing to 0
Because of the increased risk of infection I also take slow release vitamin C 500mg a day.
I also take multivitamins to help ensure I get all the vitamins and minerals Im supposed to.The list below shows whats included in these tablets.
vitaminA 800 ug
vitaminD 5 ug
vitamin E 12mg
vitmin C80mg
thiamin 1.1mg
riboflavin 1.4mg
niacin 16 mg
vitamin b6 1.4mg
folic acid 200 ug
vitamin b12 2.5 ug
pantothenic acid 6mg
