A member asked:

My crohn's disease has been asymptomatic for a year.having symmetric tendon pain:arms and feet.doc says no rheumatism & crohns arthritis is asymmetric?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See details: The pain is unlikely to be related to Crohns which is a predominantly large joint lower extremity arthritis. The arthritis is also more active when the Crohns is more active. Have you seen a rheumatologist?

Dr Abbott and another doctor agreed
