Hello!
Good question - it depends on the type of arthritis. Yes, most types require medication for disease control or symptom control life long. Please consult with a rheumatologist for a more clear treatment pathway.
Thanks so much!!

Probably one of the 105 types of arthritis. The diagnosis must be more specific before an appropriate treatment is rendered.
There are a number of different conditions grouped under the general title of arthritis. To answer this question, it is important to know which diagnosis the patient has. In general, there is no permanent cure for most forms of arthritis, although many people with arthritis live long, healthy lives.
There is a C word associated with arthritis. It is not "cure," it is "control." Even if a problem is made better, as we grow older, joints tend to wear out. Not all therapy is medicine. Exercise, weight control, strengthening, for example, are all helpful at controlling joint pain. There is never a bad time to start caring for your joints.

Hey there unfortunately, there is no cure for arthritis but there is remission period. Depending on what kind of arthritis she has. Please see a Rheumatologist in your area. Diet, exercise and BHRT definitely helps my patients. Best of luck
