Dear; thanks for using HCM . I read your question in details and understand your concern. Crohns Disease is a systemic condition that can be associated with generalized arthritis. It can cause a lot of pain which might need systemic treatment with medications also used in Rheumatoid ARthritis and polyarthropathy. I recommend you to see a rheumatologist for evaluation and specific treatment of your arthrosis. Medication as morphine or opiods are not the best treatment for this problem, they can cause dependence and you still with pain.
I hope that my advise has been helpful
