Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 , What kind of x-rays did your rheumy do? My internist did one from the front, one from the back, and one with my mouth open. I think my rheumy told me in April he'd do two--and I forget what he called them but it made me think my neck would be bent forward, then back, and the x-rays would be taken with my neck flexed in both directions. Just curious. Thanks:) Rie Message: 3 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 02:55:43 -0000 From: " twobushed2boogie " <alsanders0925@...> Subject: Re: RA & neck pain? Hi Rie I am new to this group so I'm glad I can get started with something I'm a little familiar with. As you, my neck has slowly gotten worse after coming off of the Remicade, but I have increased the dosage of MTX to 20 mgs. .... He didn't comment on how rare RA was in the neck but did tell me that it can destroy the synovial joints between the base of the skull and C1. Anyway, get to your doc as soon as possible and let them know what's going on. Good Luck! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
