Hello everyone. I've had intense pain in my neck and left foot for over a week. Anti-pain doesn't seem to help in the slightest. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks,
B Lane

@b.lane Hello b.lane, thank you for opening this discussion. Please don't hesitate to consult with your doctor if this pain is new to you! In the meantime, let me tag some other members who may be able to share some advice with you!

Hello all, have you ever experienced RA pain that would not subside with pain medications? In that case, what do you do to ease the pain? Do you use any alternative medicines or treatments?

@b.lane I'm sure you've already tried this, but what really helps me when I'm in a bad flare is heat. When I have time like on the weekend I'll have a long soak in a hot bath but if I don't have as much time like when I'm working at home during the day I use an electric heating pad that my mum got me that I wrap around the areas that are in bad pain. It really works for me.
