no diagnosis - what next

Hi I called an endocrinologist and the nurse said that limb swelling wasn't an issue for an endo. No other family members have had. I have Crohn's disease and it took me 5 years to get diagnosed -- had all the tests and nothing showed. Only symptom I had was partial blockage, which would send me to ER. Finally a new gastro suggested exploratory surgery and they found it. So knowing I was atypical in presentation with that, makes me wonder about this. My gastro was awesome but has retired. I might email him. He's literally a genius.

@justwrite- Your symptoms might be from Crohn’s disease. Swollen joints can cause your limbs to swell as well as your internal organs.
