Do you have neck tenderness and decreased range-of-motion?
Do you feel mild or severe neck pain?
Have you noticed weakness, numbness in your arms?

Yes I'm known to get harsh pain in my neck and shoulders (with my shoulders even popping which is sort of painful) and my arms sometimes do get numb and hard to move

For how long you are suffering from arthritis?

I actually have the same problems but it is all over my skull, down my neck/shoulders and body to my waist. I got diagnosed with MS in 2002, it started with my legs, torso and moved up to my neck and skull about 1 year ago. Stiffening of the muscles/joints. This along with eye blurryness, floaters, occasional hearing issues, bowel incontrollability, numbness, occasional inability to control a leg (i.e. dragging) and RLS.

Hi, jordand!

What was your first diagnose MS or arthritis?

There are some clinical cases about patients that have both, rheumatoid arthritis and MS (in some patients Arthritis occurred years after onset of MS, and vice versa in other patients)
