Some people call it arthritis of the muscles. I have both.

I have both, too. I've never heard they consider Fibro a type of arthritis, though.

I like to think of it as an irregularity of the muscoskeletal system caused by severe levels of chocolate deficiency!

Sorry. I just can't help it, I really can't. <g>

That's baloney! It sounds like your doctor just does not want to lose any of your money. I'm a nurse who also has RA. Depending on the pain people w/RA can certainly benefit from a chiropractor. Dorey <ddorey@...> wrote:

Good point. When one of my hands were giving

me troubles I saw a friend's chiro. I probably should not have done

that without xrays first as my hand was damaged so much already and the

chiro was pushing down on spurs, nodules, and nerves. I came home in

horrible pain. None of us knew what was really wrong at that time and

it caused more damage from what my hand surgeon said. I'd say if you go

to a chiro, make sure that there isn't anything in the part you are

getting worked on first.

A good chiropractor would order xrays if there was any question that there was a breakMaggie <meshouse@...> wrote:

I have been wondering if he just has a thing against chiropractors.....hmmmmmm. I'm not confused about this because he reminded me last week when I was in that he does not want me going to a chiropractor.

Well he wasn't suggesting that it was because of spurs or anything, just that the ligaments and tendons are more stretchy than in people without RA and so much caution is needed.

He does really recommend yoga either because of this same thing but if I was into yoga I would get a second opinion.
