Christa and group;

Welcome to our group christa.. I have learned much about arthritis

and how to deal with pain through our humble group here... I hope

that we can be informative and helpful to you also..

Sorry your here with joint pain.. I am so sorry that you hurt.. I

only know to well how painful the joints can make us feel... I know

mine gets better for a few weeks and than a flare... I had an flare

yesterday I was up till 4 am with pain in my back and legs...

I use to be in constant pain till I started the humira injections...

I have RA,, Fibro,, bursitis and osteo... It took a while to get all

these diagnoses.. Once I finally saw a rheumy she was able to test

and begin treatment... THe sooner you get test and treatments the

sooner your rheumy can find the right cocktail for you.. God bless

and take care.

gentle hugs

Clora
