How To Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis Of Elbow, Shoulders And Wrists?

I was diagnosed with pretty bad RA in my elbows and it seems to be going into my shoulders and wrists. I have had multiple surgeries for multiple things. I recently had a defective IVC filter removed due to the legs breaking off. I have sense my surgery on 6/23/16, starting having shaking hands so bad It s hard to do my job as a accounts receivable specialists on a computer all day. My mom is being tested for Parkinson s and MS. Do I need to be tested also?

Hi,

As RA and MS are both autoimmune diseases, there is no harm in you also getting tested.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
