Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hi, Shirley. Yes, that is the sternoclavicular joint, and it can be affected by RA. I'm glad you'll be going to see your rheumatologist soon. Be sure to mention it.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 , I was able to find some good information seaching with the correct name for the joint. I understand why you said be sure to mention it. I hope it is just inflammation. I am trying really hard to make it to March 19, with no sick time. I have already had my three incidences in a 12 month period and my attendance is unsatisfactory!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Not to worry, Shirley! It's likely due to your RA. It could even be a dislocation. I'm so sorry you have to worry about feeling well enough to make it to work.
