Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First line products are Methotrexate per week with Folic acid per week, and if the symptoms persists you can add Leflunomide, once daily. You can use for short periods anti inflammatory agents like Brufen. If this shows no effect go on biologic agents like Remicade, Enbrel, Humira, Simponi, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilektra Xhafa(Kacareli)
