joint pain in any part of the body can occur with what doctors call flare ups. So far treatment is available & works most of the time but for ex. his last flare up was in his knee, took him to ER, took 4 shots of morphine to ease the pain. Regular Dr put him back on prednisone for anothr 10 days. He has so many meds its unreal.
He is also a diabetic with meds & asthma w/meds whn needed. He doesn’t smoke or drink. He also takes depression med because he is only 41 and isn’t used to sitting around and not being able to work.
My brother was just diagnosed. Is there anything non-medical that I can do for him? Anything that will help relieve some of his symptoms that the doctors can’t help with?
Starting last November, my knee got really swollen. It was to the point where I couldn’t bend it and the pressure of the fluid caused great pain. I’ve had x-rays, an MRI, and blood tests done that haven’t pinpointed the exact cause. I’ve been seeing a rheumatologist because the doctors suspect I might have rheumatoid arthritis. The medication they gave me worked for a month or two, but my swollen knee is back. I’ve begun to wonder if the doctors really know what’s wrong. I used Webmd and researched pseudogout and gout, which also match my symptoms. Anyone have any idea at all?

I have arthritis all over, bursitis and rheumatoid factor is positive.
I signed up for a health club to get some weight off and get back into shape (had a car accident last year and it messed me up so my neck hurts everyday). The treadmill is ok, but the other day on the stationary bike my knees got so painfuul i had to stop after 5 min (i was able to do 30 min before). So I tried the Arctrainer (elliptical machine?) and if i put it on manual and keep my legs straight, i can go at a pretty good clip. what other machines or exercises can i do with painful knees? I am 45 and a woman w/hypertension (another reason to workout).
I have rheumatoid arthritis and I do not take medication for it(the medications I’ve been on in the past caused stomach issues and if I control my diet I can usually control the RA). I am in a lot of pain today, the weather is not helping with this in one bit. Does anyone know of anything that I can do to help relieve the pain without medicine? I don’t have any Tylenol left and no money to buy some right now.
I have RA in my hands, wrists, knees and right ankle. Any suggestions to help relieve pain right now would be great…thank you!
