Symptom #8: Arthritis
Arthritis is a condition that’s caused by inflammation, as is Crohn’s disease. It’s not too difficult to see the correlation here. Many people - up to 25% of patients - with Crohn’s disease experience some form of arthritis.
The larger joints are much more susceptible to arthritis. These joints include the knees, hips, and ankles, but it can also strike the other joints in the body. Arthritis symptoms tend to improve when the disease is treated.
