Hello,
Swelling, pain, inflammation or stiffness of joints are indicative of RA. Visit ER, get physically examined.
Get tests for RA (CRP, anti-CCP, ESR) done. Get evaluated, get treated at the earliest.
Your treating doctor will give you NSAIDS, Analgesics or DMARDS (to slow the progression of arthritis & save joints).
Take antioxidants, vitamin C, garlic, Omega 3 fatty acid. Avoid sugars & refined carbohydrate, stay away from alcohol & tobacco, dairy, cut on salt & preservatives.
Exercises & daily walking should be done. You may take the help of a Physiotherapist.
Exercises make joints flexible & hence reduce the pain. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
