I have joint paint throughout my body. Is the just something we have to learn to deal with? On my 4th med and have not seen any relief in the pain. Gut related issues are all but gone, but not the joint pain.
Hi . Your frustration is certainly understandable. Extra-intestinal issues, like joint pain certainly happen with IBD (see: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/symptoms/inflammation-of-the-joints-skin-and-eyes). That said, given that your gastro issues are controlled, you may want to speak to a rheumatologist because they specialize in handling autoimmune joint issues. Autoimmune conditions love to collect each other, so they can also check to see if there could be a different cause for the joint pain. Hope this information is helpful and that you get some relief soon. Best, Richard (Team Member)

Thank you Richard. Guess I will start looking for a rheumatologist.
