Can Riboxan be used for RA after removal of melanoma from buttocks?
Patient: Have Rheumatoid Arthritis which has been treated well with Remicade infusions for several years. Now, a melanoma was removed from my buttocks that was completely extracted Tuesday according to the pahtology report I just got! Yeah! No longer a candidate for Remicade, is Riboxan a good alternative? RA DR is recommending it but the risk of neurological virus and deaath are scary! Doctor: hi,do not get scare as medicine as prescribed for short term and for symptomatic treatment. once the symptoms come down the medicine is viened off from the patient. No doctor will prescribe the medicine for longer use.For your RA you need to perform exercises.breathing exercises is also included in it. once you start your exercises and your metabolism improves you may not need to worry much on may factors as they all will subside .breathing I mentioned as important is because in RA the respiratory system shouldnt get involved as the pain is unbearable.also the muscles have to stay strong enough to support your skeletal system which can only be possible if you do regular exercises.on any question regarding exercises I will be happy to.assist you.regardsJay Indravadan Patel
