Reply to "Muscle and joint pain years after colectomy due to UC"

DonaMember

Hello Cate,

I am not on the site very often since my coloectomy 8 years ago. I got on tonight looking for others suffering with joint pain due to UC. You had asked if any one was ever told of connection between UC and arthritis, my gastro told me that there is. He said that although I tested off the charts for RA, it is the UC attacking my joints causing the problem. I was given Mobic, Sulfasulzide and another med that I quit taking and do not remember the name. I only take the other two when I am struggling to manage the pain in other ways. I think that exercise and diet really manage the pain well, but it takes very strict self control (which is difficult)

I guess it is one more stage of the disease. I was curious about what next? After the colon, rectum and joints, what happens next?

Wishing you the best,

Dona
