Hi Merry
If I sleep on my stomach I often wake with a crick in my neck but it shouldn't last for more than 2 -3 days.
What about anti immflammatories to help?
At this moment I have pain in my right thumb, always my neck and shoulders (cant take a top off!) and my toe!
Are you on good meds?
Cathy

I have been having this sharp, sudden pain in my right big toe joint. It feels like it is hit with a hammer then stops. Usually it occurs in the evening. Drives me nuts!!! Like Cathy I have trouble with my shoulders and sometimes putting my bra on is difficult and I have to have my husband assist me. His comment to that is, " I spent years trying to get the damn thing off now I'm putting it on".......LOL  or "Why dont you just free boob it today" ......LOL

I take lots of meds 20 mg of mtx 15 mg predisone 400 mg plaquinel my neck is actually flaring I guess it is just a joint any joint can flare.............................TERESAI read that RA can even affect your jaws!!!!!! I bet that would really be painful.But I would lose weight he he he........................TERESAmerry,

Maybe you slept the wrong way? i like to sleep with 2 pillows to elevate my head. Unfortunately, we never know what area of the body will have a flare-up.

How about a warm/hot compress. I found those really help a lot! Heat usually relieves the pain. HTHIt was definatle a flare it has moved on to my ribs............TERESA

Are you sure you dont have some pleurisy going on? Does it hurt to take a deep breath?

I have had pluersy I get these travling flares since the begining the last one lasted 3 wks it just goes around and attacks different joint sometimes the big ones knee shoulder ankle or small ones the ribs hands knuckles wrist. I had pluersy last spring that was ugly but anyways I can handle this pain it is the big joints that are crazy............TERESA
