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.
