What kind of joint pain does ulcerative colitis cause?

See details: Ulcerative colitis causes an inflammatory arthritis mainly in the large joints of the lower extremities. If the hla-b27 antigen is present, it may also be associated with an inflammatory arthritis of the spine.

Non-destructive: Uc can cause joint pain and even joint swelling and redness in most joints including hips, knees, wrists, fingers. Unlike rheumatoid arthritis, uc-associated joint problems do not destroy the joint capsule. Nonetheless it should be treated so that you are more comfortable. Sometimes the GI doctor will manage and sometimes they will send you to a rheumatologist. Good luck.
