Default Rheumatoid Arthritis - 10-02-2009, 06:22 AM

I was recently diagnosed for having RA. I noticed the pain a few months after I gave birth to my first baby. Then I had a checkup and eventually the results showed that I have the symptoms of RA. I read some articles from medical web sites and noticed that changes in hormones estrogen and/or progesterone can cause the onset of RA symptoms. I was thinking that, if this is the case, could hormone therapy (birth control pills) help resolve the RA symptoms?

A diagnosis of severe rheumatoid arthritis indicates that there is a high level of joint pain, stiffness, and swelling of the affected joints.Pain relief methods for the treatment of RA are varied as well. Painkillers such as aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and corticosteroids are routinely prescribed to suffering patients.Medical experts advise that the foundation for the sound management of RA should include weight maintenance and a healthy diet.
