Does Anyone Have Severe Neck Pain?

A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
Flat, AK

I've had RA for nearly 30 years, several surgeries, and have been on many different meds: currently, prednisone (married to it), Orencia, and Methotrexate. Neck pain started several months ago, specifically, the joints behind the ears. My Rheumy injected my trigger points, and it worked for a few weeks. Following a very relaxing cruise, I developed severe headaches and neck pain.

I've had RA for about 22 years & starting too have neck trouble. RA hits just about everywhere over time.

My neck hurt me for a year too the point I could not turn my head so my doctor said it felt more like the muscle and she sent me to PT. I really enjoyed the massages but did not think the treatment in 8 sessions was going to do anything it would feel good when I left and then a few minutes right back to pain. Well it worked and I have not had a minutes trouble with it again and that has been over five years ago. She said it started with my fibro and had gotten into the trap so am good now and really believe in the PT
