Enteropathic Arthritis Q & A

Would removal of the colon eliminate the enteropathic arthritis?

I have Crohns disease and celiac sprue (cannot have any glutten in my diet.) My hips and legs have become much stiffer and hard to use lately . Are there any correlations under these conditions?

I have very bad pain in my lower back on the right hand side into my buttock.  I also have bad pain in my back of my neck.  The orthopedic surgeon told me it is from sitting a lot that causes pain in my back .

I am a 54 yr. old female. I have had Crohn’s Disease for 36 yrs. It has been in remission for 5 yrs, after 2 major resectionings. Within the past 3 months, pain in my knee and pelvic has arisen. After x-rays, my Dr. says arthritis. Is there a connection??

Is there a connection between ulcerative colitis and arthritis of the large joints? I have had left side colon pain for years and now have swelling,warmth and pain in my knees, large toe joint, one ankle, and one wrist.

Why would I have a low/moderate positive Rheumatoid Factor with Psoriatic Spondylitis?
