Dear patient
Rheumatoid arthritis is known for flare ups and remissions. Medicines which you are taking are effective for controlling rheumatoid arthritis and prevents it's progression better known as disease modifying anti rheumatoid agents( DMARDs ). Newer drugs in this category are available which not only induces remission but also reverses deformity. They are eternacept and anakinra. This drugs are costly but very effective. You need to consult rheumatologist nearby your area and get yourself examined. All the best.
