I've been using Alzumab biologic for about six months now, and honestly, I'm not seeing much improvement in my condition. I've heard about Scapho by Novartis and wonder if it's more effective? Can you tell me if switching might be worth it, or if there are better options out there?

I'm really concerned about this burning sensation throughout my body and the constant pain in my lower left back. It's been bothering me for a while, and I'm not sure what to do. Could it be something serious? What might be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next? Id genuinely appreciate any advice on this.

It sounds like you're dealing with a persistent burning sensation and localized pain in your left lower back. This could be due to a variety of causes, such as nerve irritation, muscle strain, or inflammation. It's best to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

what is seronegative RA and how is it treated since my blood tests for RA are all negative is this a lifelong condition or will I need surgery at some point

People with seronegative RA do not have high levels of the antibodies currently tested for in RA blood tests. However, as with seropositive RA, it responds to treatment that affects the immune system, suggesting it is an autoimmune disease.
