What Do You Suggest If Having Crippling Pain Due To RA And Have Had 15 Surgeries In Feet?

I have had crippling RA since I was 18. I am now 38. My RA has advanced to the point where I have a difficult time with most things. I am on sulfasalazine that helps and I take morphine for the pain. I have had 6 surgeries JUST on my feet. In all I have had a total of 15 surgeries in all for my RA to keep me mobile. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

I can help you better if you post x ray reports and blood reports to me.

You can take dose of methotrexate.
I will advise dose 7.5mg weekly.
You can start combination consulting your treating doctor

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are sometimes prescribed in severe cases.
Newer biologics have role in RA.

There is good role of diet and achieve correction through it, for details you can directly contact on my profile
