For managing stiffness and pain associated with amyloidosis, consider the following options:

- Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs): These can help reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. However, they do not treat the underlying amyloidosis or remove deposited proteins from your joints. Consult your doctor to determine if NSAIDs are suitable for you and which ones to take.

- Chemotherapy: This can help stop the growth of abnormal cells that produce amyloid proteins.

- Targeted Therapy: These therapies can interfere with the gene responsible for producing abnormal amyloid proteins or stabilize these proteins in the bloodstream.

- Stem Cell Transplant: This involves high doses of chemotherapy followed by reintroducing stored stem cells to help stop or slow the production of amyloid proteins.

- Surgery and Other Procedures: Depending on the type of amyloidosis and the affected body parts, various procedures may be recommended.
