Welcome back. For diarrhoea you ahve to be on some medicine depending on the cause. In the background of crohns disease it may be assumed it is due to that only for which you require tab pentasa thrice a day and budesonide for maintainence.

For burning sensationin leg it can be due to many reason one which yiu have mentionedthat Iis entrapment of nerves while helaing is rare. Other causes are vitamin deficiency, crohns itself can involve nerves and can lead to neuropathy. So you should visit a Neurolgist for the evaluation of same.
