Interesting !

Well done to the Mirror for explaining, correctly, what RA is and not confusing it with arthritis !

Sounds like it is still in the very early stage of development and has only been tested on animals so won’t be available for a very long time. I wonder what the biodegradable polymer is made of and how safe it actually is in the body. How often do you need to inject? And why so few joints? My RA affects every joint in my body so would my hands and feet be sorted but not my elbows and knees? So many questions 🤪

Hi

My mtx is once a week and my cimzia is biweekly. I have it in every joint as well... snap!

I don’t think I’d like something injected that doesn’t dissipate. I do get gel injections in my knee but it goes away on its own. Not sure I’m comfortable with this.
