Could be arthritis. Joint pain is assoisiated with crohns.

Yes, good possibility that it could be arthritis. Both Crohn's and certain types of arthritis (spondylarthropies) share common tissue types. So if you have certain types of arthritis you are more prone to getting crohn's and vice versa.

She should see the doctor about this if it keeps up.
