Does rheumatoid arthritis cause tight back and neck muscles?


Does rheumatoid arthritis cause tight back and neck muscles?

Rheumatoid Arthritis causes me pain in all parts of my body. Neck, back, legs, arms, jaw, etc. I have Pre Lupus along with it AND Scoliosis. I got a triple whammy from Mother Nature as far as the skeletal disorders go. Remember, its an autoimmune disorder so it attacks other things also. I also have Sjogren's which attacks my tear and salivary glands. I cannot wear contact lenses.

Yes, and preventative maintenance is a good idea, i.e. massage treatments and moist heat. My mom has had RA for several years and I work on her for pain reduction. Try some gentle pain free stretching and keep warm.
