The arthritis is a secondary symptom of my Crohn's Disease. It's often associated with autoimmune disorders, which you may have known already.
I do want to run, but not at the cost of causing even more damage. Ibuprofen sounds like a bad idea, since it doesn't do anything to actually reduce the impact stress.
I'm a bit clueless on the paraphernalia. What should I look for in a support band? Is that like a tensor bandage, or something different?
I will be sure to ask my physician when I see him next as well.
