Hello Charlie92 and welcome to the forum. It sounds as if you're quite used to arthritis at a young age. I'm sorry about that. I waited until I was 15 to get it but I'm way beyond that now

From what I've read on here, it seems not uncommon for people to have Crohns with one of the auto-immune forms of arthritis. However, I think you'll have more luck in finding them if you post on the Living With Arthritis forum. Unfortunately, things are pretty quiet on here in the run-up to Christmas so don't be discouraged if you get few replies. Just try again when all the Christmas hoo-haa has died down.

Hello from me too, Charlie92. As Sticky said things are pretty quiet on here at the moment but the combination of arthritis and Crohn's is not unknown. Please keep in touch and hopefully those with the knowledge that might help you will be around soon. I hope you have a good Christmas etc and keep as well as you can. DD
