Steroids are often given for severe inflammatory pain associated with rheumatoid arthritis. For acute surgical pain, however, these drugs are rarely used, even though inflammation is probably the major cause of postoperative pain. What is the rationale for the contrasting approaches? Make sure that you discuss how inflammation happens with RA. Then discuss how steroids can help reduce that inflammation. Then discuss why inflammation occurs following surgery. Discuss how RA inflammation is different than surgical inflammation. Finally, explain why a steroid will not help due to the specific differences in the type of inflammation.
