M09.12: Juvenile arthritis in Crohn disease [regional enteritis] Upper arm
You have an intestinal disorder that is causing inflammation in your elbow joint.
3 bones meet at the elbow. These are the humerus and the two bones in the forearm. These are called the ulna and the radius. In the elbow there are several joints between these 3 bones. This is how we are not only able to bend and stretch the arm, but also able to twist the forearm, for example when driving in a screw.
An inflammation in the joints can cause various symptoms. Typical is a swollen, painful joint. The skin above the joint may also be red. It may also no longer be possible to move the joint as usual.
You have Crohn’s disease. This disease involves the immune system attacking one’s own body. This results in inflammations in the intestines. The immune system may also attack the joints. So the joints may become inflamed too.
The inflammation in your joints occurred before you were 16.
