Hi all again, saw my RA Consultant about 3 weeks ago.She was quite good ( first time I had seen her) and sounds like at last, I might be able to get onto a good form of treatment .

I forgot to mention to her, that I am getting a lot of pain from my neck, does anyone else suffer with this issue.?

yes! I have arthritis in my neck, not sure whether it’s RA or OA. My neck is a bit deformed now which means extra care has to be taken when I have a general anaesthetic.

yes sadly. It’s taken years but I was finally diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis a few years ago. Have had RA since 1980. 3 of my discs have fused causing a lot of neck pain and headaches.

Yes, I’m still having horrendous neck pain with headache base of skull since I had Covid about 12 weeks ago. I don’t feel as though it’s related to my RA though.

Check your pillow… a lot of neck pain is caused by sleeping on the wrong pillow………nerves get compressed…then wen you get up ..your neck hurts.

But if you have ever injured your neck, Osteo arthritis can set in years later.
