Gut related arthritic atrophy

CathMember

I have just had my second hip replacement and, for the first time, a surgeon said the cause may be something called gut related arthritic atrophy. This is linked to my original ukcerative colitis. I have had a jpouch for over 20 years. Interested to hear about anyone else who has had joint replacements.

I haven't heard of that one, but I have enteropathic arthritis, which is an inflammatory arthritis associated with UC. I was diagnosed about 10 years after my j-pouch surgery, but I had symptoms a good decade before my surgery. It can cause accelerated joint degeneration. I have not had any joint replacements, but I have been on biologics and azulfidine since my diagnosis.

Enteropathic arthritis usually does not lead to joint destruction, but it can if you have the chronic type.
