Ding ding ding!Best answer yet.I have RA,not a good one to get.Some of the meds are no fun at all,the other ones eat your liver up and the next one is steroids.I have to take all three kinds for now.The "living with it" eats your joints and disfigures them and you.Rheumatoid is a bit different than Osteo,Its nasty and does not care if you are young or if you take care of yourself.It just sucks.Rheumatologists often treat stuff they dont understand,chasing ghosts thru a series of symptoms.There are offshoots of this autoimune disease that dont have names yet.The bottom line is that your body is attacking your joints.This is my second round with this crap,been in remission for 9 years.The meds are rough at times but the alternative is much worse.Celebrex saved me last time,there are many newer and better drugs now.If what you are taking does not work talk to your doctor.PM me if you want more info,mind you RA is a different creature tha Osteo joint pain.
