Re: Lower Back Pain During A Flare

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Wow, I have been experiencing a ton of lower back pain too. I get

pain into my right hip also and my rheumy thought my pelvis was tilted

to the right. He sent me for x-rays and I am waiting for the results

but he does think I have a back problem on top of the RA, but could

have RA in my lower spine as well. I thought I was alone going

through the back pain as well with the RA, but I see a lot of people

complaining about it so I thought maybe you should mention it to your

doctor. I will let you know how my studies come out. I am hoping to

hear today about them. Do you have a good mattress? That could be

part of the culprit. Well, you are always good about posting to me

when I have questions so I just wanted you to know you were not

alone. Email me anytime . You know you can.

Hugs,

Tracie
