Guest guest Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 My husband, who has had RA for over 40 years, used to call me from his office and ask what we were having for dinner. Then he would tell me that his jaw was painful and due to swelling he could not close his teeth and needed something to eat that was soft and easy to chew. The RA seems to have 'burned its self out' in that area and he hasn't mentioned it in a long time. I don't have RA but I have Osteo arthritis in my neck, hands and toes. Occasionally one side of my jaw will be painful but I never remember to ask the Rheumatoligist if that could be Osteo. It was so painful once that I went to the dentist thinking I had a tooth infection. X-rays did not show any problem. Vera in Central Fla. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
