How Can Painful Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Treated?

I have rheumatoid arthritis. I have been using methotrexate injections once weekly for over two years. I still have pain in my joints and someone suggested sulindac 150 mg daily as a possible alternative. I will be seeing my rheumatologist this week, but am wondering about your thoughts on this.
