Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hello! I am a new member to this group. I have a sister who is 32 and live in Indonesia, she has Rheumatoid Arthritis for 11 years - since 1993. Her pain is in her knees, hips, hands. She tried so many doctors but she still in pain until today. After she got married in 1998 her condition is getting worse, she had to use a wheal chair, doctors tell her that it might not be easy for her to have a baby with her condition. In 2001 she is using acupuncture, after 8 months treatment, miracle happened, she was pregnant and able to walk again though not too fast. She delivered and took care the baby with my mother but the pain came back slowly.. After 8 months delivering a baby, she was started to feel the pain, and after 1 year and 3 months she is now back to her wheal chair. Now her condition is worst, not only back to her wheal chair, she can not use her right hand so she has to use her left hand to do everything. I really hope you could help me with the best treatment or recommendation as she is getting worst day by day and I can not see her like that. She was avoiding surgery that is why she keeps trying to have other options. Thank you.
