I had a problem with my jaw right before being diagnosed with RA 3 years ago and now after injuring my neck using an elliptical my jaw has flared up again. Been going for therapy. Anyone have RA in jaw? Any advice?

Google popped up... Is it rheumatoid arthritis or an infectious disease mimic.. Lyme disease was brought up on that... I also ask can you have infectious arthritis for a long time and not know it it being mistaken for ra

I know I'm probably grasping at straws...but... Look up infectious arthritis.. it can be mistaken for ra.. 4 years ago all this crap started with one knee.. and now it's starting back up again with the knee.. I guess time will tell..

Yes this ra is the stupidest crap I've ever been through LOL!.. I'm sure you're taking muscle relaxers if you're not I'd sure start taking them.. 2 days before the epidural they let me know I need $350.. so I canceled the appointment and kind of glad I did because my neck shoulder trap muscle are all better now..don't feel like no spring chicken .😳. and I hope will never get a corti steroid shot in the shoulder again because I think that's what set it all off.. everything else started flaring again . It started with my knee swelling.. now that corti steroid shot really was worth it .. that was back in April.. and if I get another one in the knee and all this other pain lets up.. then I know it's got something to do with my knee.. and by other pain I mean.. my ankles feet toes fingers wrists.. and I just keep stomping around LOL.. remind me and I'll let you know how that works out LOL 😝 I truly hope your job gets to feel better makes me sick thinking about it..
