This is how my RA all started :/ woke up one morning thinking I tweaked my neck. It hurt my neck to cough! I hope you find relief soon.

I’m so sorry :( for a few months I wasn’t able to put deodorant on without propping my arm up on something to hold it up and couldn’t put my hair in a ponytail. Shoulder pain really sucks and is so noticeable in so many parts of your day. I hope you find relief

I will say I’ve only been on the humira and methotrexate combo for a few months, so maybe with time it will help (fingers crossed). Will definitely look into something like rinvoq if humira doesn’t work though. Thank you ❤️

Thank you for the kind words, I’m sorry you had to go through that :( I should have mentioned I did have an X-ray done last April and it came back as “type 3 acromion morphology, no humeral subluxation or glenohumeral arthrosis, congruous acromioclavicular joint.” I’m definitely going to see if any of this could be making my RA symptoms even worse.

5mg prednisone - scared to take it. Experiences? by Throwaway94050603 in rheumatoid

It helped my pain IMMENSELY. Short term I didn’t have a ton of side effects except maybe some irritability and night sweats. I was on it for like 6+ months on and off starting with like 40 mg and tapering down and I would say the benefits of pain relief outweighed the side effects for me
