Can joint injections help ease rheumatoid arthritis joint pain?

Rheumatoid joints: Absolutely. Cortisone injections into joints with inflammation of any cause can be helped . It's more important to get in with a rheumatology specialist as there r medications which can slow or reverse the disease .

Yes : It can potentially help, but it is an adjunct therapy after you been treated with other conventional therapy such as immunomodulator medications. Often ten time many joints are involved and each joint injection only affect single joint and unlike helpful for overall condition and only provide temporary relief. Suggest you to get eval by a rheumatologist for a more a detail discussion.

Yes, but...: Joint injections can help at times, but they are only temporary. Some Doctors use these injection for joint flare-ups of focal pain and swelling which can occur frequently. I prefer to use the Principles of Intrinsic Medicine to treat joint pain, including flare-ups, at the elbows to hands and ankles to feet. Many of my patients get fairly good relief using my Doctor's Reflex technique.
