@A myRAteam Member I battled an ankle that wouldn't move for months and was very painful. My RA doctor kept giving Prednisone to fix it. I went to my chiro. for a back adjustment. He asked if there was an other joints that needed help and I casually mentioned my ankle - not thinking anything of it. He looked at my ankle and told me I had several bones out of place. He adjusted my ankle and that ended all of my issues - UGH!! never had a problem since. Live and learn....I guess. 🤣

Thank u for taking the time, I will certainly look into this

Have you had an x-ray of your back to verify that this is RA? It may be the you spine is out of alignment. Or you may have a degenerative disk issue that is causing your whole walking gate to be off. This may just require a lift in your shoe to easily fix this. A chiropractor would be best to see for that lower back pain - not your RA doctor. Just some thoughts. Not everything is RA is what I've learned the hard way.
