What are the symptoms of enteropathic arthritis?

EnA affects the gastrointestinal (GI) system and the joints.

Enteropathic arthritis symptoms involving the GI system include:

  • Abdominal pain.
  • Blood in your stool (poop).
  • Frequent diarrhea.
  • Weight loss.

Arthritis symptoms usually affect your arms and legs but sometimes include your spine. The signs include:

  • Deformity (for example, fingers that are bent or bumpy).
  • Pain.
  • Redness.
  • Stiffness.
  • Swelling.
  • Tenderness.
  • Warmth.

A person may experience GI symptoms first, then joint symptoms, or vice versa. Or both types of symptoms may flare up at the same time.
