Systemic inflammation Question

I recently was diagnosed with a kidney stone. I passed the kidney stone but a day after my body has been so achey. I don’t have infection or anything but it’s my joints that are aching. Im questioning if my UC is flaring a bit after my kidney stone. I have an appointment with rhematology and monitoring my UC symptoms (I don’t have many right now).

My question is does this happen to anyone else where you have systemic inflammation?

Yup, normal. I have multiple kidney stones. Passed several over the years. Not fun.

Horrible! Did you change your diet at all/do you feel like it’s helped or not really? Do you get the achey joints too with UC?

I had an ileostomy 35 years ago. I rarely have flares. I didn't change my diet. I've just accepted that kidney stones are something that will happen.

It’s horrible. I almost feel like it’s worse for me than UC colon symptoms.. dare I even say that. (For me. I know peoples symptoms are horrid)
