There is something called ankylosing spondylitis you could look up and see if you think it's applicable xx

I had neck symptoms, age 6, before diagnosis, so yes, RA can spread to neck.

Hi, The neck was my initial symptom, before spreading to other areas. It is also the first area it affects when having a flare. Hope you get some relief soon. Candy

Wherever there is a joint RA can go there. I have problems at my sternum (breastbone) where my ribs meet it. I have involvement up and down both sides of my spine where ribs join my vertebrae. Every sybovial joint, no matter how small, is susceptible. Groan 😞

Yes, I have had RA in all of my joints. Some years ago I had my neck C1 and C2 fused. Don't blame everything on the RA though check with your Docs.

Wishing you well
