Just because you might have an older family member who has osteoarthritis, that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to resign yourself to the same fate. There are a lot of things you can do to either delay the onset of the disease or prevent it entirely. Receiving a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis can be devastating. You may feel that you will be doomed to a life of constant misery. But while pain is, unfortunately, a part of having RA, there are many ways you can manage your discomfort while living a full, active life.
The professionals with Rheumatology Care of North Houston are ready to put their experience to work in helping you deal with RA. We will be committed to helping you find relief of your symptoms, and will devise a treatment plan to meet your exact needs. This is the most important recommendation we can give you. It will be important that you take all of your medications as directed. Whether you are taking prescription medicines, over-the-counter drugs or a mixture of both, you will need to commit to taking them as often as your doctor says. We work to make life easier for our patients. Managing the pain and disruptive symptoms of these conditions is difficult enough, so our aim is to provide a one-stop care environment to reduce visits to hospitals and other facilities for treatment procedures. Insurance plans that do not cover infusion therapy in a hospital setting may cover them in a doctor’s office, so this can make treatment far less expensive for patients in long-term care. An internist who pursues further training in the diagnosis and treatment of what are commonly and collectively referred to as rheumatic diseases, a rheumatologist provides care for patients suffering from a wide range of conditions.
