Is rheumatoid arthritis a chronic disease?

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic pain condition with no definite cure. However, it can be managed via various treatments, depending on the nature and severity of a patient’s arthritis. Unlike osteoarthritis, which typically occurs due to age and/or wear-and-tear, or gout, which may cause arthritis due to uric acid crystals in the joints, rheumatoid arthritis is an auto-immune condition wherein the body’s defenses attack and cause inflammation in various tissues, including the joints.

What are the options for reducing inflammation in the nervous system?

These options can include surgeries, such as modifying or replacing the joint itself or removing chronically inflamed tissue around the joint (synovectomy).

Can corticosteroids be used for arthritis?

Corticosteroids can significantly help in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis because of their potent anti-inflammatory and pain-killing effects. However, they are not advised for very long-term use due to an increased risk of hypertension, osteoporosis, and infection. They are usually injected into tissue near a swollen or much-inflamed joint to maximize the pain-killing effect and minimize side effects. Corticosteroids can also be used as nerve blocks, temporarily numbing the area during intense flare-ups.
