Alternative Treatments and RA
Posted on May 11, 2018
Sometimes prescribed medication isn't enough to manage the pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis. Alternative treatments help some people manage RA pain. Finding what works for you may require trial and error. Try keeping a pain diary to help you identify RA triggers and what brings relief.
On myRAteam, the social network and online support group for those living with rheumatoid arthritis, members talk about a range of personal experiences and struggles. Alternative treatments are one of the top 10 topics most discussed.
