I ve he Ra for 25 years now and have suffered tremendously! Because of the damage to my joints Maria s have become fused and I have no movement I have two ruptured disc in my neck and now what feels like a pinched nerve . I had a MRI done but waiting now to see a neurosurgeon which leads me to this… Went to the Ove the doctor and she actually had to help me undress because of my arm and shoulder hurting so badly. Examination she found snowed under my warm inflamed and counted eight inflamed in my groin area! I m scheduled to do a mammogram and ultrasound and also blood work next week . I as you can imagine I m very nervous and scared of course because I know with this can mean. I know either it could be and infection or some sort of cancer . I m not in the medical field but sometimes I feel like I am because I ve been around childhood cancer for the last 20 years! My daughter has an in operable brain tumor. What are the chances of having auto mean diseases and developing leukemia or lymphoma? The last time my said rate was checked it was in the 90s
