R.A. can affect any joint in the body. The back is a commonly affected area.
See a rheumatologist to be sure.

Imagine for a moment your arthritis completely vanishing right now.
If, in a moment, your pain and stiffness melted away. And your joints all of a sudden functioned like a well-oiled machine.
Like a magic wand was waived, you'd be able to jump up from your chair and run around the room like a kid.
And imagine that you'd never have to suffer as much as a pinch of arthritis stiffness or pain ever again.
I know this sounds impossible right now, but bear with me, because sometimes miracles happen.
It was a gift from a woman on the other side of the world. From the kindness of her heart, she took pity on my suffering and taught me how to completely reverse my arthritis.
Today, I want to do the same for you!

my mum has rheumatoid arthritis. She had it only in her fingers and hands for years. This was managed and got better. Now she does have it in her back. Go get some tests done and they will be able to give you something to help.

I've had RA for only 2 years, but it affects every joint in my body--even my jaw and the bones of my inner ear. At my age-43-I've begun having earaches because of it. Your arthritis can affect you anywhere.
Make sure you visit your rheumatologist regularly and follow his advice. Talk with him about added calcium and vitamin D in your diet, especially if you are taking methotrexate.
Also, discuss which exercises might be appropriate for you, and move your joints through their complete range of motion several times daily to help alleviate stiffness .

In most cases the only true benefit from cannabis is in chemo patients to increase appetite and with high anxiety people to calm them down. It does not do much as far as pain relief. Sorry and I understand yours and her frustration my Mom suffered from RA and not a lot of things can help.

I agree, see a Rhumatologist to be sure but I have PA (Psoriatic Arthritis) and it affects my shoulder, ankles & fingers as well as occasionally my neck & back.

Sure. RA is a disease of the joints, and the upper back has plenty of them.
