Hi, There could be a link. I have arthritis and get sore throat quite
frequently.

Lovelyladymonk,

I have arthritis in my back and hip from a injury, but never have a sore throat unless its related to a cold or virus. I personally don't see how the two could be connected unless possibly the arthritis is in the neck area and pressing or irritating the muscles or nerves surrounding the tissue causing inflammation, but still, that would be a unique case in my opinion regarding a sore throat condition. Shadow

lovelyladymonk,
I've never heard of anything like that. I have arthritis pretty bad but never have I had it affect my throat. I guess I could ask my daughter who is studying to be a nurse. She would know where to find out the answer to that. Good question and post.
