Joint pain in IBS flare up
Hi everyone!
I suffer with IBS-D and have noticed, when I have a flare up that my knees ache like crazy… my lower back also becomes weak.
I’m not sure whether it’s my age or if it is linked with the IBS?!
Anyone else experience these symptoms? If so, any recommendations to help relieve them. I’m only 43, but am feeling much much older right now. 😖
Ty for reading.
Personally, I know what that's like because I have had rheumatoid arthritis for many years and I have only had IBS symptoms here and there, so basically the exact opposite. Some IBS like-illnesses can cause joint pain, you can check out some of the info here:

It may help at least point you in the right direction. Let us know if there's anything else we can do to help and remember - you are not alone! Keep on keepin' on, DPM
