Body stiffness

2018-02-14 20:15:05
I'm having a history of rheumatoid arthritis. It started in 2009, but subsided within a year with the help of medicines(Salazar and Indocap). Now after almost 8 years, I'm having some symptoms like stiff back(top to bottom), ankle swelling, fatigue along with some mild fever. Shall I restart the medicines again? I'm not able to sleep properly due to body stiffness and pain.

Don't start the medicine without consultation. For rheumatoid arthritis you need to be in regular exercise routine to keep it in control. So consult a good orthopedic doctor and then to a physiotherapist for pain & stiffness management.
