Rheumatoid Arthritis Archives

What pain killers do they normally prescribe for Rheumatoid Arthritis?

My mom was recently diagnosed and would like to know if it is potent enough, and if I could take a few and she wouldnt notice, like every day if i were to take a few, would she notice?
I’m not a moron. I’d feel bad about it; that’s whi I woudl only take a little bit, but she can get refils right?

My aso titres were 350,420 and 511 respectively in 3 months. But my esr value s 3 mm/hr. Can i suspect rheumatoid arthritis ?

Other than the obvious pain, stiffness, inflammation, ect, what will happen to me if I do not take medication for my Rheumatoid Arthritis? Short term and long term?

I have had it since I was 9 (but I have probably had it since I was 7) and it is in every joint except my hips.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and a friend of mine told me to take one aleve tablet with 3,000mg of MSM. I would like to know if this is going to work because I’m not sure about this.

My middle toe looks like a hook. Turned that way over night and separated from the neighbor toes. Is there a treatment, surgery that can straightened it out again? I am so disgusted about this, can’t wear open shoes.

My MD means well, but every time my RA flares up they wish to prescribe some antinflammatories.. or better yet.. oral chemo to treat this progressing disease.

I have noted early deformity in my left hand #2 digit… I currently take a slew of mutlivitamins but also omega3 fish oils, and oil of primerose.

Any other suggestions?

I was diagnosed with osteo years ago, but lately I’ve had severe swelling in my ankles and knees, with fluid retention, I thougt that was only with rheumatoid.
