Do I Have Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)



Do I Have Inflammatory Low Back Pain (Spondylitis)?

Low back pain is a common symptom that affects most adults at some point in their lives. Most cases of low back pain are due to muscular strains or degenerative joint disease (DJD). Less common forms of arthritis are inflammatory in nature and present with different symptoms and are usually more debilitating. If you have any of the following symptoms, talk to your rheumatologist (arthritis specialist) today to be properly diagnosed and treated:

□ I have had low back pain or stiffness starting BEFORE the age of 40.

□ I have at least 30 minutes of morning stiffness.

□ I notice my low back pain or stiffness more in the morning or after periods of inactivity (like after a long car ride) and it improves with stretching exercises or a warm shower.

□ I have also been diagnosed with iritis, uveitis, psoriasis or colitis in the past.

□ I have a family member with iritis, uveitis, psoriasis or colitis.
