Crohn's Disease is an inflammatory bowel disease, and Arthritis is also an inflammatory condition. The link of both of them having to do with swelling is why they have a connection. However, Crohn's Disease does not necessarily cause arthitis, it's only known to be associated with it. Hope this helps! :)
