Dear Patient.
You say that you have been diagnosed with RA and Fibro. The treatment you are taking is Tramadol.which is just for pain. Inyour condition anti RA drugs and pregabalin should be initiated.
It is very essential to start on with anti RA drugs early so that any further damage to the joint can be prevented. Consult a Rheumatologist and initiate treatment early.
Thanks.
