Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Markia, I have been on every R/A drug you can think of, you need to be on a anti-inflammatory type of therapylike Orudis, or aspirin based drugs in addition to Methotraxate. Watch taking to many real pain killers as this will retard your own bodies self defense against pain. Ride a bicycle, its great therapy for stiff swollen joints. I have had R/A for 35 years, it will get better. You will get better. Also Enbrel is the best medicine I have ever used.
