6Soreness
A less common yet serious sign of ulcerative colitis is the widespread soreness or pain of joints, particularly in large joints of the body. While there is still no exact explanation for this symptom, many scientists assume that it would be associated with the inflammation in your digestive system, which can be spread to other areas of the body. Also, if your ulcerative colitis is caused by autoimmune disease, the immune system would attack your body cells and trigger inflamed joints. Middle-aged people are often at a higher risk of developing inflammatory in joints, such as the spine, hands, and knees. [6]
