i will tell you that i have a bad knee from a car accident, it was destroyed and rebuilt. i have pretty much had constant pain that i have lived with off and on for the last 6 years. i recently read an article about krill oil. a doctor recommeded it for inflamation pain and so forth. i bough some and within one week, ONE WEEK, the pain is virtually gone. now, my inlaws take it for arthritis and have seen amazing results in their pain. it sounds nuts, but it works. its like taking fish oil, its an omega 3. i think the only thing is says check with doc if you are taking blood thinners.
your right… education is very important. For a patient with RA the number one thing is pain control, like teach other techniques than drugs like warm packs/shower, massage, distraction like music or tv. Another one would be to educate them on proper ROM exercises to maintain and improve joint functions. Also inform them on protectin the joint and modifying daily tasks to cope with ADLs.
And the number one health promotion would be to provide the community with education on ways to identify symptoms of RA to promote early diagnosis and tx.
Nurses, i need help with health promotion for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients?
I’m confused with health education for RA patients with health promotion for Ra patients. Can anyone gives me examples on health promotion for Ra patients?
(i) Is comforting the patient from excruciating pain consider as health promotion?
(ii) giving seminar about the disease itself to the community that talks about the disease,how it progress, what are the signs and symptoms is also consider as health promotion?
(iii) correct me if I’m wrong, health education is to educate the patient about how the disease process, how to manage it etc and health promotion is to promote the health status of the patient itself that includes comforting them, giving awareness etc.

First of all, I hope you’re seeing a rheumatologist. He /she should be able to help with the pain.
There are a variety of drugs now to “put the brakes on” RA. They help with the pain.
As for over the counter meds, start with ibuprofen.
