Hello,

I have studied your case with diligence.

NSAIDs, DMARDs (disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) are prescribed in severe cases.
As you are on methotrexate already ,Newer biologics have role in RA.

There is good role of diet and achieve correction through it,for details you can directly contact on my profile
