Numbness and tingling are common symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), caused by inflammation. Inflammation results in swelling which, in turn, presses on nerves, resulting in numbness and tingling.
Standard medications used to treat RA may reduce inflammation and relieve numbness and tingling, but sometimes medications won't completely resolve the symptoms, or you may want to limit your use of medications.
Natural remedies can be used as adjuncts to conventional treatment for rheumatoid arthritis numbness.
In order to effectively reduce rheumatoid arthritis numbness and tingling, a comprehensive treatment plan is essential. Discuss your concerns with your health care team. Conventional medications, splints, physical therapy, and occupational therapy may all be used to relieve numbness and tingling.
If you decide to include over-the-counter or natural supplements to your wellness plan, be sure to let your health care providers know what you are taking.
