My mother is fighting with rheumatoid arthritis from year
1996, RA was diagnosed through some blood tests but unfortunately she didn’t
find any Rheumatologist (wow, even MS Word and Blogger suggesting spellcheck as the word "Rheumatologist" is not yet recognized by them {Red Underline is really irking}; anyways, I have clicked "Add to Dictionary") at that time. There were no internet available to her
from where she could know about this kind of arthritis. She then consulted with
an orthopedic surgeon and he suggested her to get a knee replacement but she was
scared of surgery as at that time knee replacement was not so successful. She
thought she can handle this situation, let me tell you that RA is a very
different kind of arthritis; sometimes you feel acute pain and sometimes you
can walk and do daily activities without any pain. She then started walking
with a stick, she used to do a lot of work until it became unbearable. I am not
going to explain each and every thing about pain because I cannot imagine this
acute pain. She is the one who only know about this acute pain and suffering. I
can feel a little of that screaming only and it is horrible. She had both hip
replaced past year and one knee fusion, she is still recovering from those
surgeries. Thanks to her Rheumatologist who is helping her with medications and
providing support.
If you are just diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis then
don’t delay your treatment. Approach to a Rheumatologist and get to know about
precautions, medications, and treatments. No one in this world can help you
better than a Rheumatologist, so don’t be late! Consult a specialist before
deforming your joints. There are lots of scam sites and products online claiming to cure this disorder. As I
said earlier it has no cure, so these sites and their products are completely fake; swindling people.
Only a specialist can treat you; he or she is the only one who can help you control this kind of arthritis
and deformity. Osteoporosis can also occur if delayed. If you are new to this arthritis then don’t worry you can easily
control your disorder by simply following medications. Medicines mainly Disease
modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARD) can help your immune system by
restricting inflammation and pain. DMARD can only be prescribed by a
Rheumatologist so please don’t start these medications without consulting a doctor.
Are you suffering
from RA? Or could this be rheumatoid arthritis? Yes it is a same question and
complicated too!!

Exercise- Physiotherapy |
Many Ayurvedic centers in India are claiming that they can
Cure RA with Ayurvedic therapy; by some hot oil massage on head or toes. This
Is all bullshit guys, so please don’t believe them as they are here in the
market just to get money from your pocket. Health care is a business and we all
know that so be aware of your disease or your problem by some serious tests and
search for that particular disease or disorder specialist. Please don’t go
anywhere else if you want to get cured. One more thing; I think the same for
homeopathy too. Arthritis is spreading very fast worldwide and these creepy swindlers are making a lot of money by fooling people and playing with their emotions.
Be practical always and live a life of a survivor. You are
not the only person who is struggling with the pain of RA, but you can be the
person who cured faster. So this is it friends! I don’t think I should write
more in this article but may be in the future. Please Feel free to comment, tweet, share, +1, and
Thank you for reading.
