Hi all,

For the last month I've had really painful lower back pain which has now spread throughout my entire back. At first I thought it was because I started a new workout program but within the last week my joints in my wrist, feet, and hip have started aching so badly that I limp when I walk and just have a general discomfort when moving. Last night I woke up and had such a severe pain in the right side of my stomach that I went to the ER and they did X-rays and an ultrasound and found nothing (we had suspected gallbladder problems because the ultrasound wand was painful to the touch right above my gallbladder but I guess that was cleared). I've been under a lot of stress lately due to work, impacted wisdom teeth surgery a week ago and planning a large vacation (was supposed to leave for vacation today until I ended up in the ER last night so I'm trying to decide if it's even worth it to still try and go tomorrow) so I'm sure that could have some effect on the situation. Has anybody experienced any joint pain or pain over their gallbladder without any reasoning? Are these common symptoms of IBD? And if so, how did you treat them?

Thanks for the help.
