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

You can start with Methotrexate, as prefilled syringe, once weekly subcutaneous or as tablets per os, with an anti inflammatory agent like Brufen, as Methotrexate starts it effect. You should continue than with Methotrexate for at least 3-6 months, and Ac Folic, once per week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
