"Heart Attack" like episodes and severe Joint Pain. Anyone else experience this along with their UC?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Doctors can't get to the bottom of these small heart attacks and the increased pain of all my joints.

Wondering if anyone out there with Ulcerative Colitis has experienced something similar or can give insight as to what could be going on ?

    Joint pain is sometimes called entropathic arthritis which is related to the colitis and sometimes can become worse if your colitis is active... mine even bothers me on the soles of my feet sometimes and is sometimes so bad, I can't even get out of a chair or off the couch if I've been sitting - I feel like I'm a hundred years old... then there are days that I can be really active too.  It's one of the arthritis' I do have.  It's also possible you could be bunged up. I was admitted to hospital a couple of years ago with what felt like a tightness across the chest, trouble breathing etc and I was backed up to Sunday.  That could be a possibility????

    I hope they can help you figure it out!!!!!!!
