connda Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Colchicine, prednisone, and time. I just had a particularly nasty bout of gout. It felt like my toe joint was broken. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sheryl Posted September 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2023 Rheumatoid Arthritis is a serious and complex auto-mimmune disease. It cannot be self- diagnosed nor can it properly be self-prescribed for. Indeed, most of the disease modifying drugs used are prescription only. I am not sure why you specifically suspect RA (as opposed to say, osteoarthritis which is far more common) but you need to see a rheumatologist to confirm or rule this out. If you do have RA, it is essential to gert on appropriate treatment early to prevent development of permanent deformities. Colchicine is not used for either RA or osteoarthritis, it is specifically a gout medication. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Gotta agree with Sheryl. Go see a doctor and get a professional assessment of your condition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
