[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they work you up for autoimmunity before this was diagnosed as a functional issue? Any other symptoms that might be relevant (most commonly, other than any other persistent pain/swelling, would be GI or dermatological?)[/quote]

OP here. Yes, I do have a skin autoimmune condition. It's not present around my knee but lower extremity. What is it that you're thinking of here? [/quote]

I wondered. Could be a bunch of things. What is the skin autoimmune condition?

Psoriatic arthritis can be oligoarticular (few or one joint affected). Ankylosing spondylitis (more commonly would cause low back issues, but then again many people have those and chalk it up to aging or w/ev and maybe that is you also. Many forms of IBD cause both derm and arthritis symptoms. I would return to your PCP or whatever specialist treats your derm dc and tell them you have joint symptoms. It is an exacerbation/extension of your derm dx until proven otherwise.

Depending on what they missed you need to kiss this PT or ortho goodbye as well. I am NOT a physician or HCP, just a person with IBD, and I knew this. They should too.[/quote]
