I just started taking mobic( meloxacan) and it is helping overall aching pain

Honestly, I have to take pain meds. Normally a flair for me is such terrible pain in my back and hips that I can hardly move. My flairs always last for 3 days, then they leave as quickly as they come. The other recommendations are great. I'm going to try some. Thank you all for your responses!

I've been on very low dosage of prednisone for over ten years. I work with my dr to take low dose when i can or she will raise it when i have a really bad flare up. However this isn't the only RA med I take. If there were a better way believe me I would try it! I can't stand the side effects

Turmeric and pepper help with inflammation good luck

Cindy,
May I also recommend for you to try a soak in a warm bath with Epsom salts and or lavender to relax. Also, tai chi, yoga, modified chair excercises to build up your core and mindful meditation. I hope this helps.
