Happy New Year to you too. I reckon you need to contact your rheumy department because that sounds miserable.

You have my sympathy. No part of inflammatory arthritis is a bucket of giggles except for this forum. I hope you get it sorted pdq. Hugs

Buy a hand held massager from amazon, it’s the only thing that helped me. Found the bicep pain was caused from the shoulders and forearm. My sympathies

Yes I’m on Leflunomidi and it definitely helps, weather affects my R/ Athritus most even though most say it doesn’t. Happy New Year Elizabeth

I can predict rain with my right hand better than any weather person on TV. :)

My bicep pain was caused by tendonosis. I tried topicals, steroid injections and physical therapy. No good. Surgery was the only thing that worked. And that was a long process. But I'm so thankful to have a healthy shoulder now!

Yes I was on Sulfasalazine for a couple years with minimal results. My Rheumatoid Dr has put me on Methotrexate 20 mg/wk as well and slowly decreasing my Sulfasalazine. The Methotrexate and diet change has put me into remission now for 7 months. 😊😊

I listened to some online videos of Clint Paddison who had severe debilitating RA. He’s cured his arthritis with diet. He went hard core on the diet where I took bits a pieces of his advice. Number one was to eliminate dairy. I have cut it out 90% but still have hard cheese occasionally. Secondly was all flour products, diet drinks/cola. Not easy diet but I think it definitely contributed to some of me going into remission. Good luck and may 2019 be a better one for you.
