Any thoughts on this? does anyone else have similar problems with spine and has it been linked to RA Yes, it can be related. My RA problems started after several lower discs were removed, as well as decompression surgery.. What is "interesting" about RA is that a "pattern" of other maladies often seem to accompany it. In my case the herniated discs, stenosis, and the RA have been linked to ankylosing spondilitis (arthritis of the spine). But my first symptom was drying of the eyes, Sjogren's syndrome (why don't they makes these diseases easier to spell, heheh). Are you going to have surgery? My brother is a doctor and he tells me the "success rate" is about 80 per cent in healthy , fit patients.... Pris Show Biz tricks for pigs! Does your pig sleep his life away?
