pictures of rheumatoid arthritis

Sore trapezoid muscles, stiffness, pain, heat, and a stiff neck. What is this?
What do you think this is?
I have a history of rheumatoid arthritis diagnosed with symptoms and a + RA factor.
Last weekend I noted severe stiffness in my upper back going to the very back of my neck with pain radiating down both arms to mid deltoid. The pain doesn’t go down the entire arm just mid deltoid. I am also noticing a slight weakenss on the left side but it isn’t enough to drop things ect.
I am adding a picture of the tattoo on my back ( this was done over a year ago… but it marks the spot where I am having pain stiffness and aburing sensation. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b85/no…
My doctor set me up with Soma and an anti inflammatory. I feel a bit better, but the weakness on the left arm is still present and ever so slight. My fine motor skills aren’t affected, my arm feels week when I raise my arm over my head for example. My MD felt I have some sort of injury.. but I have had not trauma that I am aware of to that area. What to you think this is?
i think you should speak to a chiropractor who will most likely treat the cause of the problem, and not just the pain with pain medication
