Good evening everyone. I found out from my x-ray results that I have multi-level arthritis and degenerative disc disease in my cervical spine. I am supposed to hear from a pain management specialist. Don’t know what I’m supposed to do until I see that person.
I have been on steroids for over two years due to the arthritis that has mainly affected my lower half. Hip, knees and feet.
The neuropathy came on with a vengeance while being weened off the steroid and beginning Azathriopine.
Anyone here with arthritis & DDDD?

Hello @beckiw814, I have osteoarthritis in my knees and joints. I also have degenerative disc disease but just have more aches than pains with the exception of the advanced degenerative arthritis in my right knee. I was also on prednisone twice for two occurrences of polymyalgia rheumatica. I think physical therapy helps somewhat. Exercise is key to keeping your joints from getting worse (just my opinion).
Has your doctor mentioned or discussed physical therapy?
