I have RA. Will in become better or worse on testo? Anyone here that can share their experiences?
I've had it for 10 years. Chronic pain is something I live with every day. Even on very expensive biological medications.

I don't have a clue but in my two minutes of researching the subject, I ran across a Wikipedia topic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatoid_arthritis) that said it was 2.5 time more likely that women are affected by it than men. That would suggest that testosterone shouldn't make it any worst and possibly might help the condition. The only way to know for sure is when you start treatment.

I've had less back pain being on T.
I have it as a result of spine twisting and possible disk extrusion as a result. So if that's the case it won't heal by itself, but it hasn't got any worse at least. It seems to clear up with movement faster each morning than in the past. But that could also be a result of the T making me more active in general which may be good for it.
