Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Looking at your details, it looks like your doctor is giving a good treatment for her rheumatoid condition. There is nothing to add in this except physiotherapy. As an analgesic you may substitute etova with indomethacin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mukesh Tiwari, Orthopedic Surgeon
