Is there anything that can help your body to start making its own lubricant for your joints?

Just to make sure I understood you correctly this can help with RA?  Will this have side effects with Methotrexate?

Hello!

Glucosamine and chondroitin fall into the category of a slow acting disease modifying osteoarthritic drugs and can be taken for arthritis and consult for proper dosage with your orthopedician.

You also have hyaluronic acid for viscosupplementation which can be directly injected into the joint.

Take care!
