A member asked:
Is there any treatment other than steroids for mctd to relieve joint and muscle problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mctd is treated based on the predominant disease component. There are multiple medications which can be used for your symptoms. The correct choice will depend on your disease course so far and other symptoms. I would recommend you see a rheumatologist to help pick the best treatment for you.
