Crohn's flare up and back pain?

I am experiencing what I would consider to be a subtle Crohn's flare-up and what started as slight back pain has become severe. Have others had this issue? I have a great GI but sometimes he seems a bit skeptical that these things are related. I have always had back issues but since I was diagnosed with Crohn's two years ago I can seem to link the flares with GI inflammation. I absolutely cannot move from this pain and need medication that I feel he is hesitant to provide. Do others have thoughts on how to manage this? Thanks.

You need a Rheumo to reduce the inflammation in your joints
Pain meds will only cover up the damage being done
Please see a Rheumo
