In the meantime, here are some general approaches that are known to help with RA stiffness and pain:

- NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen) can help reduce inflammation and pain
- Corticosteroids (like prednisone) are effective at reducing joint swelling and stiffness
- DMARDs and biologics are longer-term medications that target the underlying disease process
- Heat therapy — warm baths, heating pads, or warm damp towels applied to joints
- Gentle stretching and range-of-motion exercises
- Compression, elevation, or bracing for swollen joints

Always check with your rheumatologist before starting or changing any medication, as what works well for one person may not be the right fit for another. Finding the right treatment can take some time and patience.
