I went to the rheumy on Monday. Things are pretty good; MTX helping the peripherals. We decided to try ibuprofen 600mg, 3x a day. I think that is going to hurt my stomach, but I'm giving it a go and see if my axial joints will feel better.
Yesterday, I noticed a tender spot on the back of my head at the base by the spine. Today after grocery shopping for an hour, it was more noticeable. After much googling, I think it might be the atlanto-axial joint. Has anyone ele, experienced this. I don't really feel anything unless I touch the area. Could this be AS related?
