Hi
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic disease.You can get remission to it by drugs and physical therapy.But you may get the attack again.So the prophylatic drugs should be continued for not getting a flare up again.So consult your rheumatologist and have a regular follow up and do physiotherapy also.
hope this may help you
thanks
