My wife is 58 years and receiving treatment for RA since 1999. Now she is given folitrax 10 mg per week with Sazo 500 being the basic medicines. It is observed that her both ankles are gradually swelling with acute pain. She moves around with pain and swelling. Even after taking medicines under the advice of Rheumatologists she has developed deformities in both the palms. How she can be relieved from pain and swelling?
I understood your problem. You can continue medication of RA.you have to start physiotherapy treatment. Some active exercises, some stretches, pain modalities such as ultrasound therapy, SWD, tens etc...so pain will be reduced movement of joint will be increases. Deformities will be prevented.
