Whats your opinion on ra & radiation. am told doesn't work so great together ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not proven to work: Radiation of RA might work if only one joint was involved. Radiation has it own side effects, as stiffness and cancer. Ra should be treated by a rheumatologist with the latest superdrive medicines before there is joint distruction.
