How To Control The Pain In Rheumatoid Arthritis?
I have RA and have it badly. Hands,ankles, knees just to name a few. My white count is always high, you can visably see the swelling. I have been diagnosed since 2005. My age is 38. My rhuemy will not give me anything for the pain. I am on Rituxan,methtrexate, prednisone. Still can't seem to get my Ra under control. Should I get a new rheumy? I don't know what normal is anymore!!!

hi,
in case you are not controlled on the above medication, maybe you need to be given some other biologic apart from rituxan.
there are anti tnfs, abatacept and tocilizumab available, to name a few.
