Joint pains-Is it related to Crohn's??

Hello everyone :)
So i'm gonna be visiting my GI in a few weeks and i wanted to make the most of it... I have had bone pain since a long time now, but its starting to increase in frequency.... It pains below the knees, in my fingers and sometimes in my arms too(but thtz rare)..... And there's no specific timing to it.... Before Crohn's being diagnosed, i thought this was cuz i was weak and needed more calcium etc(My GI said tht ive had Crohn's for 5 years before being diagnosed), but i read on the net that Crohn's and joint pain are related...
Have any of u had a similar experience?? What do u do to reduce it??

There is a type of arthritis that affects those with Crohns. I have fibro and IBDs. I had quite a bit of pain that couldn't be explained by fibro alone. My rheumie finally discovered/decided that it was enteropathic arthritis. My pain meds help significantly. He tried me on suflasalazine, but I am allergic.

Arthritis is surprisingly common in Crohn's patients. For the longest time I thought my pain was caused by syringomyelia, a spinal cord disease I have. But then I took prednisone for the first time, and my joint pain was gone. It was amazing. Perhaps if your Crohn's is properly treated, then you will be able to tell what is the cause of your pain. Take note of when the pain and your Crohn's reoccur.

I have Crohn's and when I am flaring I get joint pain, particularly in my hands and fingers....sometimes in my legs as well.
