About a month ago, I woke up with a stiff neck. I could barely move my head but figured it was the way I'd slept. In a day or two it was gone. Now this week I have been feeling tired and am having fleeting arthritic sensations in my wrists, arms, and (a shoulder that has always had problems)...as well as the back of my shoulder blades. My neck is also a mess again. I was feeling around and noticed that the 4th bump down on my spine is tender. It doesn't feel larger, but it hurts. I am going to call the doctor but wanted to ask all of you....does RA begin in the cervical region or end there? I have googled and read articles that said both. Is this how any of yours started? Thanks
