Well the sort of pain and swelling you are describing can be related to rheumatoid arthritis. Considering your disease is not fully controlled, it can come a part of the disease.
1. If you could attach a picture of the wrist that would be very helpful as I would be able to tell you what sort of swelling it is and what treatment is needed..
2. Also can you message me the doses of methotrexate and leflunomide..
Await your reply
