Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Hi Mr.Bhatti, since you have been diagnosed to have seronegative arthropathy, your doctor has prescribed Rumalef (leflunamide) which is a DMARD (disease modifying antirheumatic drug). As the name suggests it modifies your disease activity and its not a pain killer medicine.So you are advised to take analgesic medicines also concurrantly. Also the optimum levels of serum uric acid should be less than 6. So i feel that you need a drug which lowers your uric acid levels also. You may also need Xray of your hip joint to exclude any involvement of the articular surfaces. Advised to consult orthosurgeon and discuss all the issues. Regards
