Reply to "Arthritis"

Taylor, I had my take down almost 2 years ago. Last spring, my joint pains started in my right knee and right shoulder and spread to both wrists. Over the next four months an orthopedic surgeon did x-rays of my knee, an MRI of my shoulder and said I had some osteoarthritis, but was more likely related to UC. Over the summer, I had cortisone shots in my knee and eventually arthroscopic acromioplasty on my shoulder that also revealed inflammation. I was referred to a Rheumatologist who ran blood labs and more x-rays, and confirmed enteropathic arthritis resulting from UC. I have been on sulfasalazine for more than a month and there is finally improvement, including current PT for my shoulder. I feel like I’m falling apart but I’ve got good docs and optimism.
