I have recently been told that I have arthritis in my upper back, I don't know the best way to get some comfort from the ache and stiffness, any suggestions?
The ache has shot up to my head and eyes. Also down to my legs,(i do also have arthritis in my knees), but, I was wondering can this cause nerve damage?
