neck pain

[kathgallagher]

I have had ra for about 4 years and had trouble with my neck which I thought would resolve once I had my breast reduction. I did for a while but recently I have been having lots of pain at the base of my skull going up and behind my eyes like a half mask. I don't know what it is but my freind said I should go to gp but has anyone anyanswers thanks Kath

I don't know, and I agree with your friend who says you should see a doctor. I hope you get some solutions soon because it sounds horrid.

neck vertebra can be affected by ra/0a.. An Xray revealed changes in mine ehen I was in my late 20s/ early 30s.. no diagnosis at that point but looking back I Had mild symptons but no diagnosis til my 40s.

Like summer has said get it looked at as it could be ra/oa and it might need treatment. It will disrupt your sleeping and it won't help you in the long run. Ask for an x-ray and see what that shows. Sylvia.xx

Hi Kath,i have RA and Fibromalagia.I also have suffered with neck pain,horrificly.I had treatment on it 10years for the 2nd time and it was amazing!It isnt to do with the RA apparently as just seen my consultant but advises me to go bk to GP to refer me again.You go in as a day case.What they do is inject all around the facet joints(put local in first arnd the joints)then proceed!Its was amazing and has been mostly up to recently,so might be a good idea to see your GP just incase its same sort of thing and can be treated.I hope this helps.Take care.
