Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis

Hi doctor, i have joint pains problem, facing this since 6 years. In initial stage it was less. Slowly it has been increasing. I consulted with number of doctors for this. All most all the people said that it is rhumatoid arthretis. They have given pain killer tablets. This made some more side effects in my body. Recently i did master health checkup in Apollo hospitals. They said that it is not rhumatiod arthretis, it is blood infection. I took treatment for that blood infection for 6 days. Even after that i am getting the same problem. Earlier I used to take alcohol and nonveg. It was increasing. If i take nonveg items, definately i can expect, pain will come tommorrow in some part of my body. If i take any oil food items, pain will come on next day. Now i stopped everything. I am not using these alcohol, nonveg, oil food items since one year. Even now also pains are comming. I dont know what to do.
Doctors said that it is rhumetoid arthretis. But so far, i never get RA Factor as positive. When ever i tested, always RA Factor is Negative. one year back Uric acid was 6.2. Now it has reduced to 4.6 mg/dl. CRP(C-REACTIVE PROTEIN) test result is <6mg/L I dont know what is this. Some doctors are telling like, even though RA Factor is Negative, it is Rhumatoid Arthritis only. That i have to take pain killers for life long, there is no other alternative. and I have to keep this in control as sugar patient. I took homeopathic treatment for almost one year. There is no result. What is my position is, i dont know, what is my desease exactly. If i stand more that one or two hours, pain come in legs. If there is any problem in food, pain comes. But in any test, there were no wrong results. Every test is fine. Recently on my birthday occassion, i had some cake. Next day morning i could not tolerate the pains. Sir please help me... what to do.

Hi
Thanks for posting
After going through your suffering, it seems you have developed multiple joint pains with most likely diagnosis rheumatoid arthritis. This can be assessed by following blood test- complete blood count, serum RA and ANA factor, Anti ccp antibody test. Do you have a family history of multiple joint pains?
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that is autoimmune in nature. It affects mainly synovial joints like the joints of hands, feet, although any joint can be affected by it. Just like various chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and ischemic heart disease are not curable but controllable; rheumatoid arthritis is also controllable.

With proper medication (folitrax,saaz,HCQS) you can lead an absolutely normal life without any pain or disability.

It is not advisable to stop medication on your own as it only leads to accrual of joint damage and leads to joint deformities. So keep a positive attitude and take regular medication; also exercise regularly.
My advice would be visit a rheumatologist/physician for evaluation and treatment.
Hope this information suffices.
Take care
