Does Crohn S Disease Cause Pain In Joints?
Does Crohn s disease cause joint pains as one of its symptomatic effects? or Can the treatment of Crohn s Dz (w/ HUMIRA) cause joint pain? I am aware that Crohn s and arthritis are both autoimmune disorders that could be potentially related, I believe. I have suffered with Crohn s for some 30 years now; but I seem to have it under control currently.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Joint pain can occur in 20% of persons with inflammatory bowel disease such as crohns so it is definitely possible that there is a link in these conditions.
Joint pain is an uncommon side effect of the humira so it is not likely related.
You can consider speaking to your doctor so he or she can give you medication to help relieve your discomfort
I hope this helps
