The extention of my joint problems started when my Diverticulitus got very severe. Thankyou.Annie. Doctor: Hello,  As OA and RA are completely different let's wait for the test reports to come.   I think it will be negative for you so don't worry. bowel disruption will not make RA occur and all other joints to pain except the abdomen.   Diverticulitis needs Physiotherapy attention and workout with guidance. for OA to need the Physiotherapy guided exercises which will help.  Undergoing regular exercises will help to improve the overall muscular functions.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
