Hello,
I have studied your case and I want to tell you that rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease and it takes time for complete healing. You need to take DMARD drugs for long time. If it is not responding to medical treatment then it can be treated with surgery.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
