Hi, my Azathioprine has now been stopped by rheumatology, apparantly my liver function is higher than it should be, gotta have blood test next week. At present I only have Hydroxychloroquin for my RA, and the pain is starting to increase again, any ideas how I can ease the pain for a while, I work on a dementia care unit in a care home.

What pain relief are you on already? Have you been offered a steroid injection to tide you over?

Sounds as if you need to have a discussion with your health care team about your management while your liver sorts itself out!

Not what you're looking for?
