My wife is suffering from RA from last 13 years. RA is curable or not ?

Question

Hi Neeraj. Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious disease which apart from causing pain in the joints (over the long term) can cause damage to the joints such that you are unable to use them even if there is no pain, damage to the lungs and heart ,etc. And hence needs to be treated proactively and completely not only ot avoid pain but also to prevent damage or complications to all these organs.

Recent research has shown that if rheumatoid arthritis is diagnosed early and treated aggressively for 1-2 years then there is a good chance of cure.

This can be done best by a rheumatologist. If you let me know where you live I can give you a reference of a nearby rheumatologist.
