5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Let me explain: Some patients experience improvement in joint symptoms after iron depletion therapy, but the majority do not. Nsaids and Acetaminophen are useful for relief of arthralgia in hemochromatosis. Indocin also use for the treatment and steroid injection could help.

Options limited: Unfortunately, treatment of the underlying hemochromatosis does not improve the arthritis. Nsaids and pain meds may be helpful.
