1st dose of Entivio

uhhh... joint pain and swelling, I believe, are the most common complaints of Entyvio. o.O

I've been on entyvio for a year. I had some joint pain initially but it let up eventually. I've never had swelling. I experience fatigue for a day or so afterwards, and it's not every time. I had a scope in June and showed no active disease for the first time since I was diagnosed 12 years ago.

Good luck.

I'm on Entyvio and I'm not suffering from joint pain. But I am suffering from uveitis something chronic. And every eye doc I've seen has told me the same thing: it's the Crohn's.

I mean, technically Entyvio shouldn't have any extra-intestinal effects, as - unlike Remicade - it's supposed only to bind with a certain type of molecule that targets the gut. It's more likely that the Crohn's is playing up in people's joints, rather than Entyvio directly causing joint pain. Joint pain is fairly common in IBD - about 1 in 5 people with IBD are estimated to develop arthritis: www.spondylitis.org/Enteropathic-Arthritis

Remicade is a more systemic drug, thus has greater potential for systemic side-effects, e.g. joint pain (perhaps from a Remicade-induced lupus-like syndrome).
