A member asked:
What treatment options for ra are there other than drugs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Untreated RA quickly leads to irreversible joint damage, deformity and disability. I urge you not to delay in seeing a rheumatologist and starting meds which can prevent damage and put the disease into remission.
