  1. 5 Most Effective Reactive Arthritis Treatment you can Expect in Singapore: Best Available Treatment Options

  2. Reactive arthritis is a type of inflammatory arthritis, which can set off by some kind of an infection somewhere inside your system. The infection will lead to incompetent immune system response. Sadly, there is no permanent cure for reactive arthritis, but the symptoms can go into revocation and may not in need of any treatment unless the following flare shows up. Diagnosis and treatments at a pain clinic in Singapore for reactive arthritis can provide relief to your symptoms.

  3. Medication to deal with the infection You may know that reactive arthritis is an autoimmune reaction, so antibiotics won’t be effective to treat the inflammation in your joints. If you have conspicuous symptoms of a bacterial infection in your urinary tract or gastrointestinal system, antibiotics might be helpful to clear it up.  Now, which antibiotic you are supposed to take depends solely on what kind of bacterial infection you have grown. The arthritis doctor in Singaporewill have to run tests to find out, but you must know one fact that the viral and fungal infections will be harder to treat.

  4. NSAIDs for swelling or joint pain Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be a pain reliever and can also help in the inflammation of arthritis.  OTC NSAIDs can include: • Ibuprofen • Naproxen • Diclofenac If none of these works, your doctor may prescribe different NSAIDs, like • Indomethacin • Celecoxib NSAIDs have certain side effects like stomach bleeding, so always consume them with food.  Steroids for swelling If NSAIDs aren’t effective enough to control or reduce the inflammation, your arthritis doctor may prescribe you corticosteroid injections.  Steroids subdue your immune system, eventually trimming its attack power on your body. However, it is important to know that steroids alone don’t slow down the advancement of arthritis itself.

  5. DMARDs to protect your joint If you are looking for direct arthritis treatment, your arthritis doctor may give you DMARDs or the disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, like sulfasalazine.  DMARDs don’t help pain or inflammation directly, but it can suppress the advancement of your arthritis. Since arthritis disfigures joints step by step over time, taking DMARDs can help protect your joints from this disfigurement. Using DMARDs for reactive arthritis is taken as off-label drug usage, so don’t consume it without a prescription. Off-label drug use refers to the drug usage that’s been certified by the FDA for one reason but is being used for various purposes without any official certification However, only a licensed doctor can still use the drug for that reason. This is because the FDA sees through the testing and certification of drugs, but not how doctors use drugs to treat certain conditions of their patients. So your arthritis doctor can prescribe a drug only if he/she feels it necessary.

  6. These drugs will relatively shut down your immune system and will slow its power on your body, but also restricts your body from properly protecting itself against infections. You might also become immunocompromised, which means that you will become unguarded to infections that most people can withstand. Maybe that is the reason why immunosuppressant drugs aren’t usually used to treat reactive arthritis. Physical therapy and exercises Regular guided exercise can help enhance your joint functionality. Your physical therapist can prescribe you certain exercises to aid in structuring your strength. Fortifying the muscles around your joints aids to support them. Range-of-motion exercises enhance stretch ability and lower stiffness. Water exercise may also be a good way to exercise without putting stress on your joints. Heat and cold therapy may also be quite helpful as heat controls pain and soreness, and cold helps lessen swelling. • Source URL: https://sites.google.com/view/specialist-pain-clinic/home
