Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In Ankles?

My wife is 58 years and receiving treatment for RA since 1999. Now she is given folitrax 10 mg per week with Sazo 500 being the basic medicines. It is observed that her both ankles are gradually swelling with acute pain. She moves around with pain and swelling. Even after taking medicines under the advice of Rheumatologists she has developed deformities in both the palms. How she can be relieved from pain and swelling?
