Re: Re: Mid to lower back pain

I certainly get severe pain in my lower back. It is RA. My defintition of lower

back may not be anatomically correct but the pain is real. somewhere between

back and hips....

last year and my rheumy told me that you

don't get RA in your lower back. I am not sure about the mid back

though. When I first was diagnosed with RA, I had pain in my upper

back (above my bra strap) and they said that was RA. I hope you feel

better soon.

RA  you can have in the sacrum joints, which is the pelvic area. I have

degenerative disease of my back and spondylitis, the spondylitis can cause pain

in the rib cage area eventually. But I have had problems with inflammation of

the lining to the rib cage, the plura. You may want to see the Doctor about it.

My Mom whom does not have RA had back pain in the upper back area and had X-rays

done and found out she had an abdominal Aorta

 Anerisym, something not to mess with, don't take any chances get checked out.

Mine is mid to low. Not down near my tailbone but below the bra

strap. It would kind of be near the kidney area but like I said

those were checked not long ago. For me I think it may be a muscle

connective tissue thing. It is mainly on my right side. Who knows.

Thank for your replies. Every little bit helps.
