Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis With Poly Myalgia
I have RA with poly myalgia. What is the difference in pain relief between Norco 10 and Tylenol #4? Also, should I wait for a certain length of time about taking pain relief if I take Zantac for chronic upper g.i. problems? I ve had g.i. problems approx. 30 years and RA for 5. I am 50 years old and moderately active.

Hi,
from the list it seems you are not on any antirheumatic drugs, if you are a diagnosed case of RA, then please consult a Rheumatologist and take anti RA drugs, to be frank, RA has no cure, what is treated is disease activity, and on drugs your joint damage is grossly reduced, thus helping you lead a normal life, moreover stay active, maintain a strict exercise schedule, this will help you keep the disease under control.
