Brief Answer:
I think you should take paracetamol.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well , Fibromyalgia can lead to such flares specially when you are under stress . Now first thing since you are having crohns disease we need to rule out IBD related arthritis which can also lead to pains and swelling in joints . Secondly if its Fibromyalgia then you need to be started on duloxetine or tryptomer , along with paracetamol to relieve pain as and when required .
I think you should talk to your rheumatologist about this and discuss the possibilities.For pain relief stick to paracetamol as this one is comparatively safer.Plus I will also suggest you to go for calcium and vitamin D level testing and consider its supplementation .Any other query let me know.
Take care.
