Hello,
I have studied your case and I think your medicines are not complete. If you are having stiffness with Ra factor positive then you need to take HCQ, SAAZ and Methotrexate. Also you need to start taking calcium and vitamin D 3.
I would recommend you to meet a rheumatologist and discuss this case with him.
I hope this answer will be useful for you.Let me know if there is any other follow up questions.
thanks
