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.

Medication to deal with the infection
  • You may know that reactive arthritis is an
    autoimmune reaction, so antibiotics wont 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
    Singapore will have to run tests to find out, but
    you must know one fact that the viral and fungal
    infections will be harder to treat.

  • 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 arent 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 dont
    slow down the advancement of arthritis itself.

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 dont 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
dont consume it without a prescription.
Off-label drug use refers to the drug usage
thats 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.

  • 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
    arent 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.
