How to treat arm pain due to rheumatic polymyalgia

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs include celecoxib, meloxicam and ibuprofen, etc. These non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can inhibit the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase in the body to reduce the synthesis of prostaglandins to play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, and it is good for the relief of the symptoms of rheumatic polymyalgia patients such as muscle pain, morning stiffness, etc. Glucocorticosteroids: glucocorticosteroids inhibit the synthesis of inflammatory factors and induce inflammatory cells. 2.
