Most people with reactive arthritis recover fully from the first flare of symptoms and can return to regular activities two to six months later. Some people will have long-term, mild arthritis. A few patients will have long-term, severe arthritis that is difficult to control with treatment and may cause joint damage.
Treating reactive arthritis is mostly symptomatic, with high doses of anti-inflammatory drugs or steroids into affected joints. Testing for and treating any underlying infection is often attempted but in many cases the underlying infection is self limited or can no longer be found.
