After a clear diagnosis, doctors might recommend a combination of treatments, which could  change over time based on the severity of symptoms.

Goal of all the treatment in RA is to -reduce pain, decrease inflammation, prevent, stop, or slow down joint and organ damage, to improve ability to move freely.

Early diagnosis always helps to curtail the symptoms.

Medications: Patients with RA will take medications to decrease and prevent joint damage. These medicines may include:

Antti-inflammatory medications

Corticosteroid to decrease inflammation, to give relief from pain and to for slowing down joint damage. These drugs are prescribed in low doses.
