Hi Krislaine,

 

My name is Debbie and I have suffered with RA for 40 years. Does your Mom have a Rhuematologist? How about a Pain Management Doctor. Is your Mom allergic to anything? Have her ask her Rheumatologist about Vicodine, Oxycodone for the pain. There is so much out there on the market for pain, she just needs to keep on trying to find the right fit for her. There is a couple more Biologics after the Remicade. How long has your Mom been on Remicade?
