What medicine is good for arthritis?

I cope with PCOS inflammation, so I know how exhausting joint pain can be. Since arthritis involves delicate joint tissues, please don't take random pain relievers as they can affect your stomach and kidneys. It is much safer to let a rheumatologist prescribe the right medication.

I ignored my knee pain for two years thinking it was just old age, and now my joint cartilage is badly damaged. Please don't make my mistake and try to self-medicate with over-the-counter pills. Get an X-ray and see an orthopedic doctor immediately to start proper treatment.

My mother's doctor explained that arthritis treatment depends heavily on whether it is osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. She was prescribed specific disease-modifying drugs along with calcium and vitamin D3. Taking general painkillers daily can cause severe stomach ulcers, so a specialist's prescription is a must.

We take my father to a reputed joint clinic for his arthritis care. The doctors there adjusted his doses carefully after doing kidney and liver function tests. Please avoid self-treatment and ask your specialist clearly about the side effects of any long-term joint pain medicines.
