Hi
Your rheumatologist should be consulted if you report intolerance to prescribed drugs, he can change to other meds.In my opinion, adalimumab and methotrexate could be a good alternative, but for this your liver function, complete blood count is required periodically.
Physical therapy of hand,wrist also helps
I find this answer helpful
