M09.18: Juvenile arthritis in Crohn disease [regional enteritis] Other
You have an intestinal disorder that is causing joint inflammation in your spinal column, ribs or jaw.
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.
