Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned please follow like this - Do a physical examination by your Doctor (rheumatologist) and do few tests like (CBC with differential, ESR,RF factor and anti-CCP test)to confirm diagnosis. Do take few lifestyle modifications like this - 1) Do exercise regularly. Gentle exercise can help strengthen the muscles around joints, and try to avoid exercising tender, injured or severely inflamed joints. 2) Apply heat or cold. Heat can help ease your pain and relax tense, painful muscles. Cold may dull the sensation of pain. Cold also has a numbing effect and decreases muscle spasms. 3) Find ways to cope with pain by reducing stress in your life. Techniques such as guided imagery, distraction and muscle relaxation can all be used to control pain. Hope that helps Follow me with detailed reports.
