My right shoulder seems to have a new trick…and the only way I can describe it is a very sharp pain, but it feels like there’s a gas bubble inside the joint. And it will stay there for quite a while. My kids think I’m crazy. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain, but it almost feels like when the aspirate the joint to remove fluid. Does anyone else have this happen or am I special?
You might look into the possibility that you have a torn rotator cuff. You will need to get a MRI of the joint to determine if that is the cause. I have had rotator cuff repairs on both shoulders, two… read more
I had one it didn't help at all. It was irritating to me the spot where they put it. I had then remove it.
I started having some numbness and tingling in my right shoulder, down the arm and into the hand. This is 2nd time in a week it has happened. I can still move it, still feel like normal, no pain, no other symptoms (other than panic/anxiety thinking it might be a stroke) I mentioned it to my rheumatologist when i saw her last week and she said its probably a nerve as the other time happened when i was driving for a couple of hours..
Has something like this happened to anyone else?
Recently I've been having neck pain, which feels stiff and my hands sometimes feel a little numb or like I'm getting pins and needles. My arms are fine it's just my neck and hands. Could anyone please tell me if this is related to the spondylitis in my spine? Many thanks.

I was told by first rheumatologist that I had AS and second rheumatologist said no AS but degenerative disc disease.
Symptoms; both Achilles hurt, HLA B27 positive. Started with pain in my neck . Now my entire spine hurts.
This rheumatologist says I don’t have AS. She says only degenerative disc disease. No meds for AS
An ENT specialist has injected gel into them trying to plump up so they can make a connection. I have serious arthritis in cervical area and stenosis.
Could this be the reason??
I had a 5 level lumbar fusion and disc removal in January, but needed a discogram to diagnose disc degeneration with no disc issues evident in all the scans I had previously. 3 months in, still… read more
I have had several x-rays and I have had a few MRI’s. All concluded that “no significant changes” they do list that there’s been bone degeneration and degenerative bone disease. My first X-Ray was done at a chiropractor’s office and it shown that a lot, I had one leg longer than the other, a pinched nerve in my right hip and so much damage to the left hip they referred me to an orthopedic doctor to assess if I needed a hip replacement. At that time the orthopedic specialist only seen me as he… read more
My x-ray results----i don't have the words to describe what my x-rays show. The things shown in my x-rays are overwhelming.
My spine was like an Oak, now it's like a Weeping Willow
