For people with Crohn's disease - do you ever experience numbness in your legs?

I have had Crohn's disease for nine years now and a few years ago I started experiencing an odd numbness in my arms & legs. It will happen off and on and the severity changes each time. It's not like your arms and legs falling asleep - it's more of a painful pins and needles feeling.

Just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this.

Sounds to me like you should make sure it is because of the Crohns....is it more on one side than the other??

My IBD has caused some Pelvic Floor Dysfunction which often bothers my nerves in my left leg....but when it does it also bothers the area where my IBD is bad. The point is some of that pain can be pins and needlish. Are you getting enough food and water? Could it be from one of the meds?
