hi You may consult a rheumatologist for review of your present joints condition physically as well as the kidney and liver and general health status.If some modification of doses are required it depends on your current blood,and organs status and response to individual medicines. I would re-evaluate first before change of dose or drugs, considering their response and side effects produced clinically There are many drugs to chose, from -NSAIDSRegards,
