Re: Strange neck pain-any thoughts?

Mike,I've been having some problems with the neck,shoulders,outside
upper arm muscles,and jaw joint also,(hear a grinding noise in
it).started with the left jaw joint,hurt so much I could barely chew or
open my mouth.I had and xray of my sinuses and had to open my mouth wide
open,so I figured that was the cause.Then I reached for something to my
left and got a pain in my left neck,pain will go up into my head at
times.I got an xray of the neck and it showed disruptive discs 3-4 and
5-6,I just recently had an MRI of the neck and am waiting for the
results.I've had pain in my upper (between the shoulders and elbow area)
off and on for quite awhile,but it is real bad now,I can't sleep on my
sides,makes it worse,where I can barely raise my arms it hurts so bad.I
do have RA,and I have elbow,wrists,and finger problems,sometimes I
wonder if alot of the
pain in those areas are coming from the neck.My daughter has RSD in her
thumb which gives her a lot of pain and inflamation and will go into her
hand,she gets Stellate blocks in the gangleon (spelling?)nerve in her
neck.she can watch the swelling go down in her thumb and had and
ofcourse the pain goes away after them.I agree with you,when you have
arthritis how you suppose to tell the difference,makes you wonder.
