I went to the doctor yesterday they said it was a flare up. The gave me a brace to wear so my wrist and thumb won’t bend and gave me a prescription for voltaren and the same gel to use. I’m doing so much better. Thank you all for your help and love.

@A myRAteam Member,
I use Arnicare Gel massaged into joints for relieve. Also, I have found that my skin is dryer with RA, so I use creams vs lotions to relieve itching. One of my favorites is Eucalyptus and Spearmint cream.
I hope this helps.
