Rheumatoid arthritis is usually controlled by the use of anti inflammatory s. non steroidal or stroidal if that fail to keep it under some sort of control disease modifying drugs that inhibit the immune systems ability to cause the harmful inflammation may have to be initiated. There is no cure for RA and if anyone suspects that they have it they should get to a hematologist as soon as possible as RA can cause serious damage to joints and other organs of the body if left untreated.
