NET: There are reports of certain neuroendocrine tumors and also one of the medications used to treat them(sandostatin) can cause rheumatoid arthritis. Apart from physical therapy or acupuncture, diagnosis of your type of arthritis by a rheumatologist is mandatory and collaboration with him/her, the pharmacist and the oncologist about medications to be prescribed would be the next step.
