I have rheumatoid arthritis for 15 years I am on celecoxib amitripyline hydroxychloroquine Leflunomide Omeprazole methotrexate most of my days now when waking up are very chronics pain for about 30 minutes till I put my hands in hot water for about 5 minutes it has also made my toes curl down which then makes the ball of my foot a pressure points which has resulted in sinuses which keep getting infected so I get antibiotics & they stop my methotrexate it’s just a vicious cycle

Hello everyone,

treatment for rheumatoid arthritis can be very different from one person to another, and it often takes time to find what helps most.

What treatments have you tried for your RA?
What has worked best for you so far?
And is there anything that has been harder to manage or less helpful for you?

Please feel free to share your experience with the other members. 💛

Take care,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼
