Thanks in advance, VT
Sorry to hear about your wife, chronic illnesses are difficult for patient and doctor alike. My best advice is to see a good rheumatologist, either locally or at the university. Just as you probably chuckle at the responses to an electrical engineering question when posed on this forum, it is even worse when a medical question is asked.

So far, the suggestions have been "food and a holistic approach", CBD, pineapple juice, collagen, bone broth, tart cherry extract, turmeric, and "possible future stem cell treatments". There have been several well meaning amateurs attempting to give a didactic discourse on OA and RA. No different than past threads and just as expected. Just get to a rheumatologist and let the professionals help her.
