Hello,
Alright, there are a lot of medications for RA (Rheumatoid arthritis). The mainstay is aspirin-like drugs. I find it hard to believe that Motrin drug is out for 3 months.
Then there is methotrexate which is a cancer drug. There is also Plaquenil and Gold drug which gums up the cells involved in rheumatoid but have little other effects in the short run. You might want to see a specialist on this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
