Are you sure you mean rheumatoid arthritis and not osteoarthritis?

 

They are entirely different conditions , and no one treats RA with "Panadol or Nurofen".

 

It is an important distinction as tretament requires different specialists - rheumatologist for RA as opposed to orthopedic specialist for OA.

I absolutely mean rheumatoid arthritis.

I mentioned Panadol or nurofen as I have heard that Thai Drs do not like to give effective pain relief if it involves narcotics. I don't want to go to see a Dr if I'm just going to be sent away with Panadol.

Treatment of RA focuses on controlling/halting  the disease process, not masking it with pain killers. They will treat the RA through disease-modifying drugs.

 

I suggest one of these doctors at Sripat (AKA Suan Doc). 110/392 Intawaroros Road.
