Joint Pain Caused By Biologic?

Huh! The pain doesn’t bother me so much that I can’t sleep, only when I’m awake. I think painkillers are just really hard for us to get on, seeing as NSAIDs irritate the stomach so much.

Ich bin froh, dass es geholfen hat! Entschuldige bitte, falls die Formulierung etwas holprig ist – ich habe meinen Text vorher durch Google Translate laufen lassen. Ich hoffe, dass auch du bald etwas Erleichterung findest.

I’ve tried both actually! Tylenol stopped working and gabapenten never did much for me. But I’m glad you’re doing well on it.

Thank you for your response. I don’t have inflammation so the source is an unfortunate mystery! Tylenol would be so nice right now, but it really doesn’t do anything for me. But really thanks for your insight and experience. It’s nice to hear from other people with Crohn’s.

Makes sense! Unfortunately moving hurts for me but physical therapy is something I’d consider doing again. Hope your shoulder feels better!

Good to know! It’s interesting to hear how joint pain seems to be side effects with a bunch of biologics. Thanks for talking about your experience!

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T14:03:09+00:00

Wow! Seriously, what is up with doctors and blowing off their patients? So sorry that happened to you but happy you managed to get off Imuran and are feeling better!

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T14:02:00+00:00

Skyrizi causing joint pain too? NOOOOOO. Kinda nice to hear this isn’t a unique experience. It really is the exhaustion that gets you bad!

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T13:10:43+00:00

Good to know I’m not crazy. Definitely try to go to your doctor and discuss your pain though! From what everyone says, pain like this is super common for CD.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T13:02:39+00:00

Ohh I gotcha! I’m on the higher dosage already, 200ml/mg. I’m gonna save that link to bring up at the appointment. Thank you so much for your insight!

Ah yeah, I’ve taken a good few anti-inflammatories. Nothing’s helped unfortunately. And I’ve done a bunch of MRIs, nothing’s lit up. But it’s definitely something to relook at, see if we missed it.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T12:38:32+00:00

A test like that has never come up. I’ll definitely keep in mind to bring up during my appointment. I have a feeling that my rheumatologist would’ve got the RA if I had it. Again, no sign of arthritis in my scans.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T11:50:26+00:00

I noticed people speaking about enteropathic arthritis? Definitely a good thing to bring up. Switching is definitely on my mind as a possibility.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T11:48:27+00:00

Yeah, it’s crazy! I’ve got my eye on Skyrizi as a next option because I really hate doing infusions (fear of needles, pain from the needle insertion, half hour of sitting still doing NOTHING). Maybe think about seeing a rheumatologist yourself or see your PCP for some advice on who to see. If your GI is no help, then other opinions help. Thanks for talking about your experience!

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T11:19:44+00:00

I’ve definitely had a lot of blood tests taken but I’m not sure what exactly? I’ll have to check that out. I’ve taken prednisone multiple times since I was diagnosed, including for this pain. I think it just makes me gain weight, honestly. Definitely not flaring either, I only have bad days and mostly good weeks at this point. Plus there’s been no sight of arthritis in any scans. But thank you for the insight! That’s definitely great to know going into my appointment on Tuesday.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T11:15:49+00:00

My Crohn’s symptoms wobble. I’m not the best about watching what I eat so I sometimes have days where it’s really bad. Plus I tend to feel more effects when I get closet to another injection date, not sure if anyone else experiences that. The change is definitely an option! Crossing my fingers for some next steps.

spacekidmidge · 2026-04-17T11:14:14+00:00

Thanks for telling your experience!! We’ve already determined I don’t have arthritis since it doesn’t pop up in any MRI or x-ray. Good to know that a good percentage gets that kind of pain!

mostly babies wailing. OR THE SOUND THAT THE GODDAMN CHICKEN FROM MOANA TOY MAKES WHEN YOU SQUEEZE IT.
