Adrienne aching legs

I have aching in my legs everyday 😭 plus inflammation. I take of course meds but this doesn't help.

  1. Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. Did your doctor suggest anything else that you can try to reduce the aches, pains and inflammation? Here are some articles and forum topics below that may help. https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/stories/my-aches-and-pains,

    1. My heart goes out to you, ! I can hear how difficult it is with your aching legs and inflammation and the medication not making a difference in getting relief. Have you been able to speak with your doctor about this? Perhaps if your current medication/treatment is bringing you relief there is another option you can try?

      Obviously I am not a doctor, and cannot speak to your leg pain, but there can be different reasons to be experiencing leg pain. Has your doctor determined what is causing the aching? I ask because we do have some information on pain from peripheral artery disease, https://rheumatoidarthritis.net/clinical/peripheral-artery-disease-symptoms. Of course, only your doctor can determine what is going on, but I did want to share some information with you, just in case.
