How to Heal From Reactive Arthritis Post-Infection

Posted by spencerk009 @spencerk009, 2 days ago

I was recently diagnosed with post-strep reactive arthritis after my bloodwork detected that I had a prior strep infection within the last 3-6 months.

I had chronic inflammation in my toes and very stiff rigid joints. They put me on a burst and taper of prednisone and my symptoms significantly improved.

However I know that is not a long term solution, so I’m curious what maintenance type of treatment I should be doing to fully heal from this. I read it could be anywhere from 2-8 months to resolve on average.

I will continue to take carcumin and vitamin d supplements, stretching well and balancing activity with rest, and listen to my body. What other holistic treatments or advice do you have for healing my body? I’m not sure what else to do. Thank you.
