A member asked:

I have systemic lupus and ra what is the best pain meds i could ask my doc to prescribe?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get to the root: The root problem of both diseases is inflammation. Disease-modifying medications (rx) must be considered before all else as inflammation control relieves many symptoms including pain. After that, anti-inflammatory rx and/or analgesic rx can be prescribed but there is no one "best" rx.
