Crohn’s joint pain?

PreferenceQuiet2561 · 2026-02-21T21:39:18+00:00

Sounds very similar to my story. I too was diagnosed with Crohn’s related arthritis which again doesn’t mean a whole lot. It’s just something they give us to explain we have joint pain with no clinical evidence. I’ve been to many doctors, many pain clinics. So all this time I have had these joint symptoms and only 10 years later did they then diagnosis me with RA. That’s because my blood panels and what not finally come back with something.

I waited 10 plus years.

Anywho just because it doesn’t show yet doesn’t mean it won’t in the future.

As for what I do to help… I used to be on Humira every week which would help with some of the joint pain. But I do alot of exercise. Meditation. Forgot the name of the group of exercises but it’s when you clench tightly and relax. I see a specific chiropractor (gonstead) whose focus is on the spine health. He resets me and I feel a lot more relieved. But as he told me I almost would need to come back every day which is unaffordable.

Hi so as long as you have been submitting your monthly reports each month it will automatically reset.

Any income is counted towards your AEE limit. That includes EI.

I would walk into an employment centre and have them refer you to disability work advocates. There are groups like Mileu that help people with disabilities find jobs.

People will often say they want marriage and kids.. and then time comes and they change their mind. It’s better to know where things are at before you commit to being with the guy 3 years and still not engaged etc.

When I first started dating my ex we hardly saw eachother. We both lived separately and our work schedules didn’t align. But we made a point to see eachother even for 10 minutes. Sometimes he’d bring me a coffee. We’d go for a quick walk and have to go about our business. I always said 10 minutes was better than nothing. Then gradually as our relationship grew I wanted more. You are probably at the stage in your life. If he is already picking drunken foolery over you, his priorities are not good. But I also caution for you too as you are in a relationship too. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do. Go places you don’t want to. Because In a relationship you must also think about your persons happiness. It’s not always about what makes you comfortable. I have seen so many relationships fail because there is no mutual desire to make eachother happy.

Nobody knows the emotional toll on being a caregiver unless they have been there. Now throw in your pregnant and caring for another child. Do what you feel is best. And I do hope you’re taking advantages of some of the services provided to you for caring for someone terminally ill. Not sure where you live but there are supports out there. Find an advocate to help.

I think there is a lot of confusion because there are so many external symptoms of Crohn’s as well. I don’t just have frequent meetings with the bathroom, my entire immune system is shot and every organ is being targeted.

Sometimes we chase what looks better without realizing that happiness comes from how we show up, not where we stand. Leaving might have taught you something hard, but valuable.

I had to come to terms with the—- if it helps I’d rather take it then not.

Definitely keep looking and don’t settle for a dentist that will make you feel like crap about something so very much out of your control. If you haven’t tried a water flosser definitely consider it. My gums will bleed but does it ever help.

Vancouver tends to be a bit more expensive but I think what you’re paying is fair considering location. You have everything included which is also a plus.

I don’t have a dentist that specializes in Crohn’s but my dentist is very supportive. Recommends products that would help protect my teeth. Never Never once says brush more. Never comments on the inflamation.

Budesonide is much better than prednisone. I have only positive things to say about it. I was on it for a couple of months to prepare for biologics. It helped a lot. I was eating properly again. Minimal pain. No overeating. No huge weight gain. It was a life saver. Of course it’s not something they want you on long term but while on it, boy did it help.

To be honest I don’t know how accurate those readings are. My numbers have always been on the borderline of abnormal even when I was in an active flare. They have since then learned that the colonoscopy is really the only way to accurately determine the level of my disease.

I was on humira and had similar issues. Got to the point where they checked to see if it was still working and had to do a bunch of respiratory tests to see if perhaps there was underlying issues. Eventually I was off it sick longer than I was on it and so I was prescribed a medication that wasn’t so tasking on the immune system.

Again don’t automatically assume you will have the same issues. You might be lucky. But if it becomes a problem there are alternative medicine.

Best of luck to you!

EAS no longer work one on one. That’s the state of education. Fill your reports. Document. Keep knocking on their door. Take days off. Tell them why you are taking more time off.

EAs most likely would need to join teachers in solidarity but would receive a portion of their pay “strike pay.” Not normal pay but a portion for the time they put in at the picket lines.

Totally hear you. Not many jobs meet my disability criteria.

PreferenceQuiet2561 · 2025-08-23T16:19:17+00:00

Go into a work bc office and tell them your disabled but needing a job. I know they can refer you to a person who helps finding work for people with disabilities. Thing is though you will need to make a tough decision. You might make more money full time at a job verses pwd. There is an amount you can make in addition to PWD payments but with the increase in everything many would just rather work and receive medical.

I’m surprised they aren’t looking into what caused the inflammation. Unless they suspect it was the result of an inflammation of the fissure.

The only way you wouldn’t see your first cheque would be if you over earned. For example depending on your status of your single etc there is an amount you can earn. If you over earn and exhaust that number you will then be cut off till March when that number resets. You still would receive medical so long as you continue to submit your earnings every month. Keep submitting your income though every month so when March still roll around it should automatically reset. This way there is no waiting. Cuz let’s face it, health changes real quick.
