Hello I'm Adele and I have recently been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in my lower spine. I have had this since being 29. But only recently being diagnosed with it. I am in excruciating pain all day every day , since August last year. I have had an MRI which shows I have a crumbling disc in lower spine, which the won't operate on because its near the nerves. Had bloods taken which showed nothing wrong, had a xray on my hip which then showed I have really bad rheumatoid arthritis.
Thank you Adele xx
