RE: [SPAM] Do I have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

[Guest guest]

That sounds to me a lot more like a

rotator cuff problem than RA, but I’m not medically trained. I am 79

years old so I know something of strange aches and pains. I think for this

localized problem an orthopedic doctor may be better than a rheumatologist.

God bless.

Do I have Rheumatoid Arthritis?

I have awoken each day for about 2 weeks with a pain/soreness in my left

shoulder. With the help of a few advil it usually disapears with a

couple of hours. I have no other pain around it e.g. my forearm, elbow,

or neck.

It only happens in the AM and only to my left shoulder. I have not

varied my (rather sedentary routine in any way before of during the

onset. It only appears in the morning.

Any ideas?? Do I have RA?
