I started to have neck pain about 3 years
ago. It never got better, only got worse
- and it has spread to other parts of my
body. Lately, it's been getting A LOT
WORSE. My the muscle and joints on arm
down to my fingers are sore, my neck,
upper back, my hip and knee joint......
I've had x-rays done and apparently i have
minor scoliosis in my lower back, and i
know my posture's not great - i've got
rounded shoulders, but i'm trying to
stand/sit straight whenever i can.
I've also done blood tests and it shows
that my ANA was positive, but apart from
that, everything else was within normal
range, including rhematoid factor.
so what's wrong with me??? the pain is
getting worse and i've tried physios,
chiros.....anything! and it's not
helping...... i know i need to do more
exercise, but i get lazy, and dunno which
exercise is best for me.

Scoliosis can definitely cause some pain,
but I think your pain comes from a lack of
exercising. You need to be doing rigorous
exercises a few times a week. What it
sounds to me is that your pain is muscle
and tissue related, and the only way to
get your muscles to work better and your
tissues to receive more nutrients is
through exercising more often. You might
also benefit from inversion therapy (do a
Google search). If you decide to try
inversion therapy, then you need to ask
your doctor if he/she would also recommend
it to you, and then you could start doing
it little by little.
