Guest guest Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Hi,I have a quick question for all the UC folk out there. I am in the midst of a flare, going on a month now, and suddenly I am getting swollen ankles, and a swollen knee joint. In all my previous flares, and I have had UC for over 20 years, I did get arthritis in my hands when in the midst of a flare. Has anyone with UC ever had this, and how long did it last, what did you do?I am currently on Lialda, have been since Feb of this year, I am total SCD and have been for almost 5 years now, use lots of ginger, turmeric, anti-inflammatory foods and even Oregano oil for inflammation as well. My flare I think is very slowly backing off, but this swelling stuff is killing me because it is hard to walk and my ankles are so stiff in the morning I am using crutches to get up.Any help/ideas/knowledge would be very much appreciated. I have gone pretty much through all the UC symptoms, but this swelling is very new to me.
