Re: thanks to all about neck pain

[Guest guest]

Thanks to all of you who responded to the RA and neck

pain question. You're such a great group! It felt

good to vent to you all, as well as to get your

reactions/ideas.

After emailing you, I did a google search and found

lots of articles about RA and neck pain, which made me

1) happy there is info out there and 2) upset at my

rheumy for saying there was no way my neck pain was

related. I'd rather he say " it's probably nothing,

but it might be something. Why don't you come in and

we'll check it out? "

Anyway, thanks again! Went to my internist instead of

my rheumy. She did an x-ray and saw a little

arthritis, but not bad. Going to do PT as soon as

they can get me in.

CT scan showed still some sinus infection, so still

off my enbrel and MTX, and headed for an appt with the

ear, nose, & throat dr.
