Asked To Take Medication For Rheumatoid Arthritis For A Month. Will The Pain Reoccur?
I am taking lots of medicines for rheumatoid arthritis & have been told to take them for a month , i.e.-from 26/3/13 to 25/4/13. If I stop after a month, then will my pain & discomfort recur again???
I am having pain in my rt. knee even after taking medicines. Is it due to too many medicines? Is my uric acid at an increased level??/

dear mukherjee, you will need to continue some (not all) of the medicines later as well. rheumatoid has waxing and waning symptoms, it increases & decreases- but it stays with you. the knee pain is probably due to permanent cartilage changes or arthritis/ also could be due to effusion or swelling. how old are you? why do you ask about uric acid- did you have high uric acid before? whatever the side effects, medicines will not cause pain.
