It is not uncommon for patients with CD to complain of low back pain. The source of the pain back be referred pain from the ileum, spondylolisthesis (as with our patient), or other musculoskeletal issues that arise secondary to CD. Additionally, CD may be associated with osteoporosis joint problems.
