What Is The Treatment For Pain Caused Due To Rheumatoid Arthritis Of Spine?
I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis about 12 years ago. I also am developing scoliosis. My back and diaphragm are quite painful and I also feel a pulling sensation along my lower right lower ribs. I was told by my second rheumatologist that I have rheumatoid arthritis of my spine. ( My first rheumatologist moved out of state.) What can I do? I can't stand for long periods of time due to this pain.

Hi
rheumatoid arthritis of spine is not common, but if it is so, there is same treatment as in other part of body, no special treatment is required. probably you need to step up your medications.
