Even before my UC diagnosis, I have had so much pain throughout my body so I suspect arthritis might be a possibility. My doctors don't seem to be taking me very seriously though. Making note of it but not really suggesting any way I can help myself or get to the bottom of whats causing the pain.
Only you know your pain. Ask for a referral. I was complaining about my back pain and my doctor at the time said too much X-ray is not good. After she left that practice and my pain got worst I ask for a referral from a new doctor.
