Heather, I also have rheumatoid arthritis. I suggest that before you even think about the use of glucosamine and chondroitin to discuss safety with your doctor. I know that for people with osteoarthritis use safe, but my rheumatologist said that it is not generally recommended for use in patients with RA. Produces something with an excessive amount of joint fluid will do what to increased pain and inflammation.
When the leg was very painful and stiff, probably in a torch, and should disappear until the rest of the common skin rash. Knowing how difficult it is to do, I would recommend icing the knee, or use warm compresses. Personally, I am pleased with the cold, ice covers, and prefer to use a heating pad. My sister, who also has RA, better on ice compresses the heat. You need to see what works for you.
Some people may suggest you try a cream with capsaicin. This is reported to be very useful for many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, but it seems that worries me. My sister swears by it. Again,do what works for you.
From my personal experience with the lawyer if I have a hard, painful joints, I do not flex very slight increase in the range of motion. Only a few slight curves, is increasing gradually every day. If this causes pain, stop immediately and the rest of his spouse.
Because of his young age, I really hope that rather than the opinion of anyone here, tell your doctor. He / she is the expert and can better guide them through exercises and treatments that are most beneficial for your specific situation.
Perhaps you can recommend your doctor to relieve a physical therapist, or prescribing orthotics to put pressure on the joints. If you have access to a pool, a heated pool do wonders to alleviate pain and stiffness. You may receive the same benefits of a hot bath.
I suspect you have been prescribed drugs to reduce disease and stop your complaints. A call to your doctor can cause a temporary increase in dosage or new drugs. When I was in a torch, a meeting ora temporary increase in volume prednisone greatly reduced my discomfort. Again, this is something you should discuss with your doctor before you try.
Here are some links to various articles about juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and a link to the website of the Arthritis Foundation. Good luck to you, Heather. I hope you feel better soon.

EDIT: I see that the person who sold you that glucosamine Your reply has been deleted. Well. I did some research and found out that night is not proven safe for children, pregnant and lactating women, people with diabetes, allergies, shellfish, asthmatics and people with heart disease. It is irresponsible that you propose.
