I have problems with Crohns Disease associated Gout. I have recently developed leg tremors which are quite worrying. I am a woman in my 60s and have had Crohns Disease since I was 18 years old. I have had 2 ileostmies the last one was due to adhesions and necrosis setting in. This was in 2001. Does anyone have any suggestions?

First of all, welcome to HW,

You've come to a great place for advice and support. I think that the issues you're facing might be somewhat unique, and there might not be a lot of resource information.

Have you been diagnosed with gout in the traditional sense? Joint pain, toes, elbows? Not an expert by any means, but haven't heard of tremors being associated with gout.

Could this be a side effect to a particular medication. Perhaps you could relate what other meds you are managing with for your Crohn's.

Sorry if I haven't been much help, hopefully others will chime in. Keep us posted.
