Crohn’s Disease Symptoms Beyond the Digestive System
The acne treatment medication Accutane has been linked to the development of Crohn’s disease in some patients. This permanent condition can cause severe pain and discomfort throughout the digestive system. However, this condition can also cause a variety of extremely painful and destructive complications. In some cases, Crohn’s disease can even lead to serious neurological complications.
If you have developed Crohn’s disease after taking Accutane, contact the Accutane attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187. You may be able to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit.
Other Symptoms of Crohn’s Disease
A person suffering from Crohn’s disease can develop a wide range of serious health problems that may affect them for the remainder of their life. While some of these additional complications can be managed, the root cause of the disease cannot currently be cured. The following health problems have been linked to Crohn’s disease:
- Blood clot formation
- Anemia
- Arthritis
- Skin ulcers
- Photophobia, or extreme sensitivity to light
- Loss of vision
- Osteoporosis
- Clubbing on the ends of fingers
- Depression
- Stroke
- Seizures
- Nerve damage
These symptoms can seriously threaten a person’s life and, even if not endangering, can cause severe pain. A person suffering from these complications may require emergency medical attention.
