R.A. and Narrowing of Vertabrae

[Guest guest]

I have just recently gone to a new dr. and had xrays taken of my

back and neck. I have a pinched nervein my lower back and it has

been getting worse since i quit methotrexate injection therapy. He

said the vertabrae are narrowing and putting pressure on my nerves

which is why my leg gives out on my sometimes, like it dies or

dissappears. He is getting a specialist to look at the x-rays and I

will get the results in a couple of weeks. I have only had R.A. for

a few years now and it just seems to get worse every year.

Has anyone had this problem with their spine and if so what is or

was the outcome. My Dr. said he had never seen anything like this

before in such a young woman...I am almost 32. Any input would be

helpful as well as reassurrance. I am currently only on Anti

Inflammitory Therapy right now.

Thank you
