  Hello Everyone,

I was diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis last Nov. in my foot also have arthritis in my knee got a shot for that. I have it in my hand from time to time as well. I wanted to know if it can acure in your back as well?

If anyone can tell me the differance between regular back pain and arthritis pain? Its hurting on one side of my back in the middle. Its been like this for 2 days.

Also, what medication do you find helps pain with arthritis. I've tried tylonal, tylonal arthritis ect... nothing works

Thanks in advace for any help.

Hello, Donna,

I have Inflammaotry Osteoarthritis.....strange, I know, but that is what the rheumatologist calls it. I also have plain old OA and Fibro. My rheumatologist prescribed Tramadol for pain. Sometimes I have to take a muscle relaxant, too. Sometime I also take prednisone.

Hope this helps!
