Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Dear patient
RA factor positive means you are suffering from rheumatoid arthritis which leads to multiple joint pains especially small joints of hands and feet. Sazo contains sulfasalazine which is disease modifying agent and it takes at least 3 to 4 weeks for its action to start. Till that time painkiller like indomethacin 25 mg thrice a day should be taken with it. Rheumatologist is best person.
Tingling and numbness in upper limbs will be due to nerve compression in the neck and is separate issue from rheumatoid arthritis. Mri of the cervical spine with screening of whole spine needs to be done to confirm diagnosis. Meanwhile start tab pregalin x 75 mg one at bedtime for relief. Visit to spine surgeon with Mri report is needed.
