Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Hi All, I'm a newbie to the group and trying to get as much info and understanding as I can on this disease. My husband has had gradually increasing pain and stiffness for the last three months was diagnosed with RA last week by his rhuematoligist. He has tried Celebrex and is now on cortisone pills. They have helped the pain /swelling by about 60% he says but hasn't done much for the stiffness. Any suggestions? He's still working thru the idea that at 39 years old he's got something he thought only older people have so we/he are still in the process of understanding and accepting, but I'd like to be ready to help when he is ready to accept help. What helps everyone else with the stiffness? yoga? stretching? hot baths? another med? cutting out certain foods? anything? = ) Thanks all e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
