A myRAteam Member asked a question 💭
London On Ca

I have RA and can flare up with weather changes and always seem to have neuropathy in my legsand feet. The burning is worse after I do exercise. I was in the pool yesterday and did some light exercises in the pool, walking, leg lifts, swimming, some twisting. but no running. Do you have something that can help the burning?
