Rheumatoid Arthritis Treatment

Question by Lauren V: What’s a good knee brace for jogging with rheumatoid arthritis?
Last year I began jogging everyday and after about two months of it my rheumatoid arthritis kicked in and my knee swelled up to the point of not being able to bend it. Currently I do lower impact cardio activities but I really enjoyed running and I want to start again. Does anyone know of a good knee brace that will potentially help with the high impact of running so that it does not cause too much stress on my knee?

I actually have a leg deformity that causes my leg to dislocate whenever I run. I bought Futuro Sports Brace and it keeps my knee balanced and in check. Rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling and inflammation, not dislocations however. So I’m not sure if there is such a brace.

Best of wishes,

fish oil is popular now,besides exercise and glucosamine. are there any others that may help alleviate pain, other than aspirin, motrin,etc. im thinking natural.

I’ve tried Bio -Freeze, Tiger Balm and most of the other creams.

A family member has it and their taking alot of stuff that can cause their imune system to weaken.
