Suggest Treatment For Rheumatoid Arthritis
Hi,
I am Ruchira from India. age 50. height 5'6". weight 65kgs. I am suffering from Rheumatoid Artheritis since about 2004. I am taking Neotrxate Tablets 7.5mg per week . previously I used to take pain killer tabs occassionally but day by day the pain is increasing and I am compelled to take the pain killers almost everyday now. I take Voveran100 for pain. I want to know how to slow down the detoriation process as I know this problem does not have a cure.

Your methotrexate dose needs to be increased , you are taking insufficient dose. Plus you should not take voveran , antiinflammatories should be used , that too sparingly.
