welcome to healthcaremagic
it is better you consult rheumatologist and get explained about your mode of treatment
as it is an autoimmune disorder with waxing and waning you need to have immuno suppresive medicines as advised and to be continued as per regular assesment of you condition

Hi,
continue with the ayurvedic treatment.
Along with ask your docter to start basti treatment, which will definatly improve your condition. You can have panchakarma atlist once in a year.
Avoid painkillers.
Concentrate on diet so you can reduce weight which is very important.
