Joint pain

[Idalmis]

Hello. I have UC. Been in remission for a couple of years. Suddenly started to suffer from hips and weak legs. Waiting for blood results and calprotectin. Anyone else?

My hips have been hurting a lot too. Been blaming it on the mattress. I’m in remission for 2 years now. My wrist joints are sore too x

The xray shows ankylosis spondylitis. I believe it is linked with UC. I’d reduced the Pentasa to 2 grammes a day. Not enough apparently.

Thanks for sharing x

HiI've had UC for many years and have been fortunate in only getting mild joint aches and pains for the last few years. I think because UC is an inflammatory illness it makes sense that over parts of our bodies are susceptible to being inflamed as well.

Take care and listen to your body and don't over exert yourself🤗🤗

I'm in a bad flare up of UC at present. Not only that I believe my polymyalgia rheumatica has returned and is in my muscles of my thighs. I can hardly walk with the pain. Also having tests for Respiratory disease in IBD patients this can manifest anywhere from the larynx to the pleura. I've had a very bad cough at night (I have asthma) making sticky sputum. Awaiting results. Dr put me on an extreme high dose of steroids. Feel like 100.
